New LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler<\/a> is starting to sort out the 2026 LPGA schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There will be at least one omission, though: the T-Mobile Match Play at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Golfweek<\/a>, Kessler released a first look at next season\u2019s slate of events during his first players’s meeting at last week\u2019s FM Championship, and where Match Play would normally be in April, the schedule read \u201cWest Coast prospect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tournament\u2019s inception was in 2021 as the Bank of Hope Match Play before T-Mobile took over the title sponsorship in 2024, with MGM also serving as a presenting sponsor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the LPGA secured a new sponsor in Fortinet<\/a> for one of its marquee events, the Founders Cup, it has now lost T-Mobile. However, Kessler believes the company will continue to support the LPGA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cT-Mobile continues to be a robust supporter of women’s golf,\u201d said Amy Azzi, vice president OF sponsorships at T-Mobile, in a statement to Golfweek. \u201cThrough our partnership with PGA of America, we\u2019ll continue to spearhead innovation around the biggest moments in the sport like the KPMG Women’s Championship by leveraging 5G-powered solutions to enhance experiences for players, viewers and event attendees. We\u2019re also continuing to partner with world-class LPGA talent like Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the T-Mobile Match Play dissolving, there are now no professional golf tournaments in Las Vegas for the first time since 1982, as the PGA Tour\u2019s stop in Sin City was dropped for 2025<\/a>. There are also no Match Play tournaments. The men\u2019s tour disbanded the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas, after 2023. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler is starting to sort out the 2026 LPGA schedule.\u00a0 There will be at…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":209174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-209173","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115166459320057311","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
