This is an exciting week for the LPGA Tour.

Phoenix, Arizona is the site of the 2026 Ford Championship where Whirlwind golf Club (Cattail Course) will specifically play host to the action. Hyo Joo Kim, who is coming off of winning last week’s Fortinet Founders Cup, won the event in 2025, but its 2024 winner is a part of something interesting happening this week on Tour at large.

Nelly Korda won here throughout her decorated 2024 season, but the entirety of that run happened without ever lining up in a field that featured her sister. Jessica Korda has been absent from the LPGA Tour for a little while now, but she is indeed part of this week’s event.

It has been almost three years since the Korda sisters were a part of the same field. Specifically, the last time the duo was in one together was the 2023 Cognizant Founders Cup. Time sure does fly.

It will be great to see the Kordas and the entire LPGA Tour in action all week long.
