Five Things to Know About the Ford Championship presented by KCC

  • Tournament News

global champion tour 2023

Just two events separate the LPGA Tour’s finest from the season’s first major, The Chevron Championship. The Ford Championship presented by KCC represents not only an opportunity for players to secure their spot in the field in the major championship but is also a chance for players to get their game in peak form ahead of the major season. And the game’s best are seizing the moment, with a stacked field poised to compete at Seville Golf and Country Club for a $2.25 million purse. Here’s a closer look at what you need to know about the first edition of the Ford Championship.

The LPGA Returns to Arizona

This week’s stop in Arizona is far from the first time the LPGA Tour has competed in the Grand Canyon State, where the Tour has a long and storied history that dates back to its inception in 1950. And while the Tour has made more than 70 visits to the state, what’s new this season is the trip to Seville Golf and Country Club, which is hosting the inaugural playing of the Ford Championship. The course opened in 2000 and is located roughly 45 minutes southeast of downtown Phoenix, featuring an 18-hole layout designed by architect Gary Panks. The course will play to a par of 72 at 6,734 yards and has the potential for thrilling, final-round drama with an island green on its 17th hole. Canadian and longtime LPGA Tour member Alena Sharp is a member of the club.

An impressive field of 144 players, including the top five in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, is slated to compete at the Ford Championship, where Nelly Korda, who returned to the top of the world rankings with her victory last week in California, headlines the field. She unseated fellow American, Lilia Vu, at the top of the rankings as the two-time major champion has had a challenging start to the 2024 season. Through her first five starts of the year, Vu has recorded just one top-10 finish and is coming off a tie for 37th last week at Palos Verdes Golf Club. She’s joined in the field by top-ranked stars Celine Boutier, Ruoning Yin and Minjee Lee. Rose Zhang is also in the field for the second straight week after finishing in a tie for 22nd in California, and Lexi Thompson is slated to tee it up in Arizona after missing the cut last week.

Ryann O’Toole, who lost in a playoff to Korda on Sunday, will be looking to build on the momentum she found in her home state after picking up her first career runner-up finish on the LPGA Tour. Alison Lee, who narrowly missed out on getting into the playoff with O’Toole and Korda, settled for a tie for third for her fifth top-three finish in her last six worldwide starts dating back to 2023. Her close call on Sunday was her 23rd career top-10 result, and Lee will continue working towards that first LPGA title when she competes this week in Arizona.

Nelly Back on Top

With a health scare and injury well in the rearview mirror, Nelly Korda looks to be back to the winning ways that lifted her to the top of the women’s game in 2021. Korda picked up her second win in three starts this season on the LPGA Tour with her playoff victory on Sunday, which was her 10th career Tour title. With her wins at both the LPGA Drive On Championship and FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship, Korda becomes the first multiple champion this season and an early front-runner for the season’s biggest honors, along with reascending to world No.1. It’s the sixth time since that breakout season in 2021 that she has held the No. 1 spot in the world, and as Korda tees it up this week in Arizona, she’ll be chasing a third consecutive victory, which would be a first for the 25-year old, who has been an LPGA Tour member since 2017.

Ko’s Chase Continues

The LPGA Tour Hall of Fame watch is back on as Lydia Ko is poised to compete in the Ford Championship presented by KCC. Ko, who is making her fifth start of the season, jumped into HOF-watch mode with her season-opening victory at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, which put her within one point of getting into the Hall. Ko, who has 26 of the necessary 27 points, has already come close to qualifying since her win in January as she suffered a playoff loss to Korda at the LPGA Drive On Championship, and after holding a share of the 54-hole lead at the Blue Bay LPGA, faded to a tie for fourth.

Kerr Returns

Lydia Ko isn’t the only player on Tour who is close to qualifying for the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. Cristie Kerr has 20 career victories, the most recent of which came in 2017 and two of which are major titles, earning Kerr 22 points towards Hall of Fame qualification. At the Ford Championship, Kerr is making her season debut and is competing for the first time since the CPKC Women’s Open in August 2023. Kerr, who is a mother of two, also manages her own wine company, Kerr Cellars, both of which have kept her busy during her time away from the Tour.

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Trophy Tour Begins in New York

The Trophy Tour starts in the USA and South America before moving to the Caribbean in April.

Chris Gayle lights up the Empire State Building in blue & pink

Two-time T20 World Cup champion Chris Gayle and USA cricketing star Ali Khan, kicked off the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Trophy Tour last week in New York, lighting up the Empire State Building in the event’s distinctive blue and pink colours.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ICC (@icc)

The Trophy then visited numerous landmarks and famous locations in New York City, such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge and The Edge, before activations at a New York Islanders NHL game and Penn Station gave fans the opportunity to take pictures with the Trophy.

The Trophy then travelled to Long Island and Nassau County, where it was welcomed by a procession of Emergency Service vehicles at the under-construction Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The venue will host nine T20 World Cup matches in June.

Later, 2023 World Series Champions, the Texas Rangers, welcomed the T20 World Cup Trophy at their home stadium in Arlington. To wrap up the week in Texas, 3,000 people attended the Holi Festival at Frisco, where fans were given the opportunity to be photographed with the famous trophy.

The prestigious venue of Royal Hospital Chelsea sits in the heart of London, one of the world’s most iconic capital cities, and brings the best of the sport together in nail-biting competition for the 12th leg of the tour.

London

This unique venue close to the River Thames and the chic boutiques of Chelsea has hosted a number of world-class events, and none more so than the thrilling 2024 LGCT and GCL circuit.

Royal Hospital Chelsea will once again be the unique and prestigious venue for the London leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour. World-class show jumping will take place on the South Grounds which lead down to the River Thames, with the breathtaking backdrop of the heritage buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Founded by King Charles II over 300 years ago, it has provided care and comradeship for veterans, known the world over as the Chelsea Pensioners. The event has become a fixture on the social calendar with celebrities such as Jodie Kidd, Rory Bremner, Richard Hammond and Ronan Keating amongst others, all enjoying the action.

London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stands the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city. London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement in Greenwich where the Royal Observatory, Greenwich defines the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. Other landmarks include Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and The Shard.

The UK has a strong equestrian community with millions of people riding and following the top British show jumpers as they compete around the world.

2024 Valspar Championship money: Purse, payout breakdown, winner’s share

Keith Mitchell holds a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the Valspar Championship.

Getty Images

Sunday could be a big day for Keith Mitchell. The 32-year-old took the lead at the Valspar Championship in dramatic fashion on Saturday, holing out from the fairway on the 18th hole for eagle to claim a two-shot advantage heading into the final round.

A win at Innisbrook’s Copperhead course would mark the second of Mitchell’s career, following his 2019 victory at the Honda Classic. And, it would come with a sweet payday: $1.512 million of an $8.4 million purse.

But Mitchell’s chasers aren’t going to make it easy for him. Two-time PGA Tour winner Mackenzie Hughes is only two shots back, and 11 other players are within four shots of Mitchell’s lead at 10 under, including Cameron Young and Brendon Todd (-7) and Adam Hadwin (-6).

Check out an entire purse breakdown for the 2024 Valspar Championship below.
