The 2024 NW Arkansas Championship is all set to be held from September 27 to 29 at the Pinnacle Country Club, Arkansas. The field of 144 golfers will be playing for a prize purse of $3,000,000.

Hae Ran Ryu, the defending champion for the NW Arkansas Championship, earned her first LPGA Tour victory at last year's event. This year, the tournament will be headlined by the likes of Yuka Saso, Lexi Thompson and Lilia Vu. The event will be a unique one since it is one of the few tournaments on the LPGA Tour held over 36 holes.

However, notable players like Lydia Ko, Charley Hull, and Nelly Korda will not be competing in the Arkansas Championship due to their recent participation in the Solheim Cup and the Kroger Queen City Championship. However, the likes of Maja Stark and Megan Khang are part of the field.
