75th Anniversary Pro-Am Celebrates Major Milestone for the LPGA Foundation and Women’s Sports

The LPGA announced that all playing spots for the 75th Anniversary Pro-Am at Pebble Beach Resorts® have sold out, raising a record $2.5 million for the LPGA Foundation.

The event, set for January 12–15, 2026, celebrates the 13 Founders who established the LPGA in 1950 and represents the organization’s most successful fundraising effort to date.

The funds will expand access to golf for women and girls at 700+ Girls Golf sites worldwide, provide essential equipment, boost scholarships, and support the Foundation’s $13 million campaign to reach “One Million MORE Girls” by 2030. This comes at a time when less than 2% of charitable giving supports women and girls, underscoring the significance of the achievement.

More than 30 LPGA stars and legends will participate, including Hall of Famers Amy Alcott, Pat Bradley, Juli Inkster, Lydia Ko, Nancy Lopez, and Judy Rankin, alongside Nelly Korda, Michelle Wie West, Rose Zhang and others — a roster boasting 394 LPGA Tour wins and 54 majors. Players will team up with sponsors, business leaders, philanthropists, and LPGA*USGA Girls Golf members for the three-day celebration at Pebble Beach Golf Links® and The Links at Spanish Bay™.

The LPGA Foundation also recognized the generosity of its major partners, including Chevron, Pebble Beach Company, and the USGA, along with more than 50 additional sponsors whose support helped elevate the anniversary event. Since 1991, the Foundation has impacted over one million girls, and as the LPGA celebrates 75 years, it aims to continue expanding opportunities for the next generation.
