The LPGA has released a packed and robust 2021 schedule of 34 official events and a record $76.45 million in official purses. While the first full-field official event won’t take place until late February, the rest of next season looks promisingly packed.

Remarkably, every event that was postponed in 2020 has returned for 2021.
LPGA commissioner Mike Whan met virtually with the media for his annual season-ending press conference at the CME Group Championship and rattled off 2020 by the numbers: 7,200 COVID tests, $3.5 million in unplanned COVID expenses in 2020, 42 positive COVID tests (15 of which happened on-site and some where false-positives).
Whan’s team dealt with massive wildfires in Portland, 100-year floods in Michigan, extreme heat in a September ANA Inspiration and bone-chilling cold in Texas.
Against the odds, the tour staged 18 events, including four majors, and looks forward to a record-setting 2021.
“Quite frankly, you can’t rattle me this year on weekly issues,” said Whan, “because we won the war.”
Social engagement was up more than 40 percent in 2020 and TV viewership was up 30 percent over last year. Most importantly, the tour proved that it can hold events safely, not just for the tour but for the communities they visit as well.
“With everything we’ve gone through this year,” said two-time major winner Brittany Lincicome, “to have a bigger and better tour for next year is pretty amazing.”
While the ANA Inspiration and Cambia Portland Classic celebrate 50th anniversaries next year, two new events will be added in 2021, including a new stroke-play event that’s jointly sanctioned by the LPGA, LET and European Tour. Details of the July event have yet to be announced, but it’s part of a month-long swing in Europe.

The spring Founders Cup has moved away from Phoenix, Arizona, to Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, New Jersey, and moved to the fall. A new sponsor has yet to be announced.
The 2021 season begins with the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida. With the Australian events canceled, there’s a month-long gap until the tour returns to a two-tournament Florida swing in late February. The Gainbridge Championship will move to a new site and will be followed by a return of the Drive on Championship at Golf and Equestrian Club in Ocala, a site that drew large galleries for LPGA events in past years.
There will be a limited number of spectators at the TOC – roughly 1,800 – and they’ll be hand-picked by the tournament sponsor and COVID-19 tested. Whan said he hopes to have fans return when the tour reaches the West Coast.
“We’re really not afraid of a limited footprint on a golf course,” said Whan. “It’s six miles of space.”
The typical spring Asian events of Thailand, Singapore and Blue Bay LPGA on Hainan Island, China, have moved to late April/early May.
Match play will return to the LPGA for the first time since 2017 with a new domestic event with details to be released in late May.
“The fact that we’ve got great partners that want to stick with us and others want to jump on board is a testament to where women’s golf is,” said Australia’s Katherine Kirk.
It’s a season of big events, with the U.S. Women’s Open taking place at the Olympic Club and the Solheim Cup at historic Inverness. The Olympics return Aug. 4-7 outside Tokyo at Kasumigaseki Country Club. Whan said he was recently on a call with IOC president Thomas Bach.
“I would be shocked if we don’t play the Olympics next summer,” he said.
After a four-week swing in Asia, the tour returns to Florida for two events, with the season wrapping up at the CME Group Tour Championship, where the purse will once again be $5 million with the winner receiving a season-high $1.5 million first-place prize.
There’s not a lot flexibility in next year’s schedule should something go awry, Whan said. Typically, there are six or seven weeks off throughout the season, but once the tour heads west next year, there’s an off-week during the Masters and again after the Solheim Cup.
As for the vaccine, Whan said he’s unsure of where the LPGA stands to receive them, though not for a lack of asking.

“I promise you, I’ll be the front of that line when available,” he said. “A 55-year-old Mike Whan will certainly be there with a sleeveless shirt to be vaccinated.”

There could be a number of host countries, even airlines, he said, that will require a vaccine, and players will be forced to make a decision.
“I think at this point, we don’t have a plan to mandate it,” said Whan. “Not sure we could if we did. … I think a heavily vaccinated LPGA Tour will probably take care of itself.”

According to Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods underwent his latest surgical procedure to his troublesome back on Dec. 23 and should be ready to play in the Masters.
Meeting with reporters ahead of the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, McIlroy offered an upbeat assessment.
“In his words, it was a small procedure,” said McIlroy, who is making his first start of 2021. “Obviously, any time you’re being cut into, you try to avoid that as much as you can. But he was back on his feet the next day, so I don’t think we can read too much into it.
“I think they were just trying to clean a couple bits up.”
Woods announced Tuesday on Twitter that the latest surgery (a microdiscectomy procedure) removed a pressurized disc fragment that was causing nerve damage. It was Woods’ fifth surgery on his back; he’s also had four surgeries to his left knee.
In his statement, Woods said he would not playing next week’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego or his own tournament next month, the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club north of Los Angeles.
“Obviously he won’t be playing for the next couple of months,” McIlroy said. “But he should be back for the Masters, if not before that.
“I think he’ll be just fine.”
Speaking to Golfweek on Tuesday, Golf Channel analyst Notah Begay, a longtime friend of Woods and a former teammate at Stanford, said the 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner was “doing great.”
“I just exchanged texts with him a little while ago and he’s doing great,” Begay said. “He was out on the course hitting golf balls. He wasn’t ripping drivers. He was just getting a feel for the game after the surgery and seeing just how everything is. This surgery relieved a lot of discomfort.”
Begay said he hoped Woods would play at least twice before the Masters if he is able to get his body and golf game in shape. Possibilities for Woods? The World Golf Championships tournament that has been relocated from Mexico to the Concession Golf Club near Tampa, Fla. (Feb. 25-28); the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando (March 4-7); The Players Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. (March 11-14); the Honda Classic near his home in southeast Florida (March 18-21); and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas (March 24-28).
