The LPGA announced that the 2024 Drive On Championship will be hosted by the Bradenton Country Club in Bradenton, Fla. from Jan. 25-28.

The 120-player field will compete for a $1.75 million purse.

It will be the sixth edition of the LPGA Drive On Championship, which was first won by Danielle Kang at Inverness Club in 2020. Celine Boutier won the most recent version at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club for the first of her three victories so far this year.

“We are incredibly thankful to the leadership and membership of Bradenton Country Club for sharing their beautiful venue with us for the 2024 LPGA Drive On Championship,” said Ricki Lasky, LPGA Chief Tour Business and Operations Officer. “This event celebrates the LPGA’s long-standing mission – using our sport to showcase our elite players and our continued push for excellence.

“We know that the Bradenton community is in for a treat when the world’s best come to town in January.”

Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of Bradenton Country Club, a Donald Ross design that restored in 1999 by Ron Garl and renovated in 2018 by Tony Jacklin.

“The membership of Bradenton Country Club is excited to welcome the LPGA Tour and the best female players in the world to our fabulous course,” said Bob Spencer, President of the Bradenton Country Club Board of Directors. “We also look forward to welcoming the public to share in this momentous event and celebrate our 100 years in Bradenton.”
