For the seventh year, the LPGA season will make it's 2025 debut this week in Orlando, Florida at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. The LPGA Tour’s first stop of the year is one of the most unique formats on the schedule, bringing together the best women's golfers in the world, celebrities from across the performing arts, and other sports for a week of sheer fun.
From NBA all-stars to beloved reality TV personalities to reigning major champions, this year's field is stacked. (And our FOMO is off the charts.)

The Field

The tournament features LPGA winners from the previous two seasons, headlined by world No. 1 Nelly Korda, future Hall of Fame-r and defending champion Lydia Ko, and the 2023 HGVTOC champion Brooke Henderson.

A Few Familiar Faces

A condensed pro field always seems to raise the competitive edge, but when you throw in some high-profile amateurs into the mix, you know you're going to get a viral moment or two.
This year's celebrity field is jam-packed with some of our favorite comedians like Brian Baumgartner, aka Kevin from The Office and Larry the Cable Guy; a few NFL Legends like Marcus Allen; and top golf personalities like Kira Dixon and Hally Leadbetter.
