The 2024 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G is all set to kick start in just a few hours. The LPGA Tournament is scheduled from September 26 to September 29 at the Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas. Notably, this course has been the host for the 54-hole tournament since 2007.

This week will be among the last few opportunities for the players to grab a spot at the season-long point standings ahead of November’s CME Group Tour Championship. The likes of Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, and Charley Hull will be missing from the field, the reason for which, per speculations, is that they’ve already qualified for the BMW Championship, and hence are focused on preparing for the October event. However, top players like Lilia Vu, Lauren Coughlin, and Ally Ewing will still be on the greens at Arkansas, making it a more than fun match to witness!
