History

A LEGACY OF CHAMPIONS

This tournament began in 2013 as a way to raise money for Florida Hospital for Children hosted by PGA TOUR pro Brian Gay. Since then, it has evolved into one of the LPGA Tour’s most anticipated season openers. Over the years, the tournament has welcomed top LPGA winners, sports icons and entertainers — blending competitive play with unforgettable experiences.

In 2019, Hilton Grand Vacations reimagined the event as a winners-only LPGA tournament, launching a new era of excitement and prestige. With live entertainment, fan-friendly experiences and a growing purse — set to reach $2.5 million by 2029 — the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions continues to set the tone for the season.
