BELLEAIR, Florida – The Pelican Women’s Championship – and its sensational leaderboard – is here to stay through 2025, the tournament has announced. Next year’s event will be held Nov. 10-13 and the purse will increase to $2 million.
After making its debut in 2020 where Sei Young Kim walked away victorious, the event returned this week with spectators. Fans on Sunday are being treated to a star-studded top 10 led by Lexi Thompson and Nelly Korda that includes Jennifer Kupcho, Lydia Ko, Patty Tavatanakit, Christina Kim, Sei Young Kim, Leona Maguire and Jin Young Ko.
This week’s field of 108 players are competing for a $1.75 million purse at the newly renovated Pelican Golf Club.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with the LPGA Tour in bringing the world’s best female professional golfers to Tampa Bay for the Pelican Women’s Championship,” said Dan Doyle Jr., who co-founded the club with his father.
“We are committed to providing a best-in-class experience for the players and fans alike, and we are thankful for the tremendous support from the Belleair community in helping to build this new championship as a premier event on the LPGA Tour.”
This week the tour also debuted Feature Hole coverage for the first time tour history. Fans can watch live streaming on Peacock of the par-3 12th hole, where both Austin Ernst and Pavarisa Yoktuan have made aces to win two-year leases on a flashy Lamborghini.
Final-round coverage of the tournament takes place from 1-4 p.m. ET on the NBC Sports app and NBCSports.com. The event will be tape-delayed on Golf Channel from 7:30-10:30 p.m. ET.
