LPGA partners with Golf Saudi: New commissioner unveils Vegas event with $4 million purse

November 5, 2025

LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler wasted no time delivering something his predecessor wouldn’t — a deal with Golf Saudi.

The LPGA has announced that the tour will return to Shadow Creek in Las Vegas in 2026 for the new Aramco Championship, a co-sanctioned event with the Ladies European Tour that features a $4 million purse and a 120-player field. The event will be part of the PIF Global Series, which also includes stops in Saudi Arabia, London, Seoul and China. Purses for the five events total $15 million. Golf Week
