The 12th edition of the Lotte Championship will begin in a couple of days. The tournament became part of the LPGA Tour in 2012 and has been an annual occurrence since. Presented by Hoakalei, the event will be one of the last three LPGA events of this season. Every golf enthusiast will experience some of their favorite players in the action-packed contest to win the last few points available for 2024.

The tournament will feature the likes of Jin Young Ko, Grace Kim, Yu Liu, and others in a field size of 120 pros, and they will be going head to head for the $3 million purse. The 2024 Lotte Championship is definitely something worth watching. But another factor that might interest golf and travel enthusiasts is the beautiful venue of the event. So where will the tournament take place? Let’s get more details about the event.

2024 Lotte Championship: Location, history, and more

The 2024 Lotte Championship will be played on the same golf course it was played on last year. That’s right, the Hoakalei Country Club, designed by Ernie Els, will be the stage of the 4-day competition. This will be the third time the Hawaii-based country club will host the tournament. Apart from Hoakalei CC, the tournament has also been played at the Ko Olina Golf Club for 8 seasons before COVID and the Kapolei Golf Club in 2021.

This year’s venue has 18 holes of 72 par across the luscious fields of Ewa Beach. The course is also surrounded by a beautiful beach on one side. At 7,413 yards, this is the longest course in Hawaii and is packed with lush greens, beautiful lakes, and 112 tricky bunkers. This 726-acre large resort community is adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

Still under construction, the club will soon feature waterfront activities like surfing, entertainment, and other recreational activities. Guests will also be able to kayak and learn stand-up paddleboarding. The blueprints of the world’s largest deep-water standing surf wave are also ready, as the club plans to provide the most exhilarating surfing experience in a safer environment. There are also plans to construct a 52-acre area with lagoons, coffee houses, eateries, and more called the Wai Kai recreational zone.

When this GC was opened, it was named the Best Golf Course in the United States according to The Americas Property Awards in association with Bloomberg Television, and among the Best New Private Courses by LINKS magazine.

The entire community also includes residential zones where staycationers can enjoy the abundance of experiences available at the Hoakelei Country Club. So those who are planning to visit the club to watch the tournament can also plan to extend their trips for a much more extravagant vacation.

While there is a lot to explore for everyone, this weekend’s focus will be on the 2024 Lotte Championship. So let’s see what we have in store for the LPGA Tour event.

Who will be a part of the LPGA Tour event?

The tournament will see a lot of great action. Last year’s champion Grace Kim is a part of the entry list, and she will be looking to defend her title against formidable adversaries. She will face tough competition from the runners-up of 2023, Yu Liu and Yu Jin Sung.

Jin Young Ko is also a part of the entry list, and she will be focused on winning her 16th title and first of 2024. She has won at least 1 trophy over the past 7 seasons, and she will be hungry to continue her streak as we enter the final stage of 2024. Another adversary that all the other pros will look out for is Brooke M. Henderson. She is a back-to-back winner of the Lotte Championship in 2018 and 2019. She too will be eager to secure her third win at this tournament and the winner’s share worth $300,000.

The tournament is scheduled to be played from November 6 to 9, 2024. Fans can tune in to the Golf Channel or the NBC Sports app and catch all the action from 7 PM to 10 PM (EST).
