LPGA’s LOTTE Championship Moving to Kapalua Resort in 2027
The tournament will move to March and carry a $3 million purse as the LPGA adds a two-event Hawaii Swing.
- On Monday, the LPGA announced the 2027 Lotte Championship will be held at the Plantation Course at Kapalua, with the tournament running March 18–21, 2027, and featuring a 120-player field.
- The Plantation Course previously served as a PGA Tour staple for 25 years, but that relationship ended in April when the tour announced it would cease its tournament presence on Maui.
- Golf serves as a major economic powerhouse for Hawaii, driving roughly $3.4 billion annually into the state's economy; this marks the first time Kapalua has hosted an LPGA event since the 2008 Kapalua LPGA Classic.
- With a $3 million purse, the Lotte Championship offers fans "four days of high-level competition set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Ocean," said Kapalua Golf General Manager Alex Nakajima.
- The tournament joins a new two-tournament Hawaii Swing alongside the recently announced Nanea Cup, which showcases the sport's future by including both LPGA professionals and collegiate golfers.
