The LPGA on Tuesday unveiled a new tournament that will debut at Nanea Golf Club in Hawaii beginning in March 2027. The inaugural Nanea Cup will be played March 11-14 next year with a field competing for a $4M purse. Charles Schwab, Dell Technologies, Salesforce and Workday will all serve as tournament sponsors. The field for the first-of-its-kind competition will feature 95 LPGA golfers and 25 collegiate golfers representing five universities -- Stanford, Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M and UCLA. The professional and collegiate competitions will be contested concurrently. All competitors will play the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday before the field is cut to the low 50 players and ties. Collegiate players who do not make the cut will still complete their third and final round on Saturday to determine the collegiate team champion, while those who make the cut will also advance to Sunday’s final round alongside LPGA players. In partnership with Golf Channel, the broadcast will feature stories highlighting the collegiate athletes and coaches competing in the event (LPGA).
