LPGA Tour – The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican
This is the second-to-last event of the LPGA Tour season and the last opportunity for players to move into the top 60 in the Race to the CME Globe and earn a spot in the season-finale CME Group Tour Championship next week.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who was named the 2026 Rolex Player of the Year last week and is now just one point away from entry into the LPGA Hall of Fame, has won this event three times in the past five years. Another victory at Pelican Golf and Country Club in Belleair, Fla. would earn Korda her final Hall-of-Fame point and place her among LPGA greats such as tournament namesake Annika Sorenstam, Nancy Lopez, Lorena Ochoa, Lydia Ko and more.
Sweden’s Linn Grant won The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican in 2025, defeating American Jennifer Kupcho by three strokes.
Golf Channel and CNBC will present live coverage of The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican this week.
