LPGA's Lotte Championship Heads to Kapalua's Plantation Course in 2027

One of golf's most spectacular venues is coming back to the women's game. The LPGA announced Monday that the Lotte Championship will be played at the Plantation Course at Kapalua starting in 2027, returning elite women's golf to Maui for the first time since Morgan Pressel won the Kapalua LPGA Classic in 2008. The dramatic cliffside layout hosted the PGA Tour's Sentry for 25 years until the Tour ended its Maui presence in April, and it will now anchor a new two-tournament Hawaii Swing alongside the Nanea Cup. The event shifts to March with a $3 million purse. LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler framed the move as part of a broader schedule redesign built around marquee courses, bigger money and smarter routing. For players and fans alike, the sweeping ocean views of Kapalua promise one of the most visually stunning weeks on the calendar. The March date also gives the Hawaii Swing a natural home in the early-season calendar as the tour builds toward the year's first major.
