The 2026 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions field is filled with celebrities who will play alongside LPGA Tour pros.

There are 44 celebrities in the amateur field, playing alongside 39 LPGA pros in a separate, simultaneous tournament at host Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, Fla. The celebrities are playing for a $500,000 purse, with $100,000 to the winner.

The 2026 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions celebrity tournament format is a modified Stableford scoring system, with players earning points based on their performance per hole.

The highest point total at the end of the tournament wins the celebrity event, and there is no cut.
