We're less than two weeks away from the start of the 2026 LPGA season, and some of the tour's biggest stars are already teeing it up.

This week the LPGA Tour and its partners gathered at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links for the 75th Anniversary Pro Am. It was a showcase of the multi-generational collective that makes up the organization. From LPGA legends like Renee Powell and current stars of the game to members of the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf program, it was a true celebration for the Diamond Anniversary.

In 2023, Pebble Beach hosted its first women's major—the U.S. Women's Open—where Allisen Corpuz defeated Charley Hull and Jiyai Shin by three shots.

Corpuz was among the many LPGA stars in attendance at the pro am. A few notables were Nelly Korda, Michelle Wie West, Rose Zhang, Lydia Ko, Lottie Woad, and Andrea Lee.

The three-day event was organized to help fundraise and fuel the LPGA Foundation's $13 million campaign to reach “One Million MORE Girls” by 2030. The campaign is geared towards the Girls Golf program and boost it's outreach by providing essential golf equipment to those in need, growing scholarship support and launching more sites across the world.

Just over $4 million was raised, which surpassed what commissioner Craig Kessler was hoping for. "The $4.1 million raised over these three days blew our target out of the water. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank everyone who participated for inspiring the next generation and keeping us moving forward as we work to change the face of the game."

On the other side of the country in Boca, former LPGA star Morgan Pressel hosted her own charitable event bringing awareness to breast cancer research.

With the help of her friends, Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson and more, the foundation raised $1.3 million!

What a week for women's golf philanthropy.
