Epson Tour Championship deal extended in Indian Wells
The Epson Tour Championship will remain at Indian Wells Golf Resort through 2029, bringing new perks for players.
In Indian Wells, the LPGA extended the partnership for the Epson Tour Championship, originally scheduled to debut in 2024 at the Indian Wells Golf Resort. The City of Indian Wells and the LPGA agreed to a three-year extension, keeping the championship at the resort through 2029. This decision is a significant boost for the city-owned facility and the LPGA, as the event serves as a platform for aspiring LPGA players.
The 80-player field will compete in a 72-hole, no-cut event for a $300,000 purse, with this year's championship returning to the renovated Players Course on October 1-4 after being held on the Celebrity Course in 2025. The new agreement includes several enhancements, such as providing complimentary hotel rooms for every player during tournament week, live streaming the final two rounds and LPGA card ceremony, and introducing a Champions Dinner honoring each tournament winner.
The renovated Players Course, completed in December 2025, features redesigned finishing holes, a relocated ninth hole, and improved access to food-and-beverage amenities. General Manager Robin Graf expressed immense pride in hosting the championship for at least six consecutive years, highlighting the resort's commitment to providing the highest quality experience for both guests and top golfers.
