Golf Royalty Alert: Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko and Jeeno Thitikul Lead Star-Studded Field at 2026 HGV Tournament of Champions ⛳👑

Hey golf fam! 🏌️‍♀️✨

Can we talk about how STACKED the 2026 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions is going to be?! I am absolutely LIVING for this lineup!

ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 21, 2026) - Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV) just dropped the championship field for their signature event and let me tell you, it is going to be EPIC! 🔥

This tournament is seriously one of my favorites because it pairs LPGA champions with celebrity competitors over four incredible days at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club. It is THE way to kick off the LPGA Tour season!

Defending champ A Lim Kim is back, but she is going to have her hands full with this powerhouse field! We are talking:

• 🌟 World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul
• 🥇 Olympic gold medalist Nelly Korda
• 🏆 LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko
• ⭐ Rising star Rose Zhang

With $2.1 million on the line for the LPGA pros, you KNOW everyone is bringing their A-game!

And the celebrity side? Equally amazing! NBA All-Star Blake Griffin, Bachelor winner Joey Graziadei, and actor Timothy Simons will be competing for a $500,000 purse in a modified Stableford format. These pairings are what make this event so unique and fun to watch! 🙌

HGV CEO Mark Wang said it best: "The caliber of talent competing at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club is exceptional." And LPGA Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer Ricki Lasky added that events like this are a huge reason why the LPGA continues to grow in visibility. We love to see it!
