The Lotte Championship is the LPGA Tour's Hawaii event on the schedule, with the event having been played since 2012.
The event, which has been around since 2012, has enjoyed tremendous community support.
The Lotte Championship has moved to the fall in the last few years, with the purse increased to $3 million, with the tournament serving as a bridge between the LPGA's mainland domestic schedule and their fall Asian swing. The event now runs Wednesday through Saturday.
Brooke Henderson, who went back-to-back, is the only player to have won this event multiple times.
Lotte Championship format
The Lotte Championship is played over four days, and there is a cut for the qualifying field.
The field, which is 144 players, is reduced to the top 65 players and ties for the final round of the event. At the end of the 72-hole event, the lowest score wins. In the event of a 72-hole tie, a sudden-death playoff is conducted to determine a winner.

Hoakalei Country Club has been the host to the tournament since 2022. Ko Olina hosted from 2012-2019. The event wasn't played in 2020, and Kapolei GC hosted in 2021.
