A look at the history of the HGV Tournament of Champions
The HGV Tournament of Champions was played for the first time in 2019, at the Four Seasons Golf & Sports Club, Orlando. The first three editions of the tournament were held at this venue before moving to Lake Nona in 2022.
The tournament is open exclusively to winners of LPGA Tour events. Winners from the two seasons prior to the tournament qualify automatically. For 2025, the tournament has a purse of $2 million, with $300,000 going to the winner.
The 72-hole record for the event (24-under 260) is held by Jessica Korda, who won in 2021 at the Four Seasons Golf & Sports Club Orlando. In that edition, the eldest of the Korda sisters shot a third-round 60, one of the best scores in LPGA Tour history.
Since the tournament moved to Lake Nona, the best score for 72 holes is 16-under 272. That record was set by Danielle Kang in 2022 and tied by Brooke Henderson a year later.
