The LPGA on
Wednesday announced that Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in
Orlando will host the $2 million Gainbridge LPGA in 2021.
The 120-player event will be held Feb. 25-28.
"We are thrilled to bring the LPGA Tour to Lake Nona Golf &
Country Club for the second event of our record-breaking 2021
season," said Ricki Lasky, the LPGA's Chief Tournament Business
Officer. "Lake Nona will be a top-quality, competitive test for
the world's best professional golfers, and we're excited to
showcase their abilities in Orlando come February on a global
stage."
This is the second LPGA Tour event to be held at Lake Nona. In
1990, the club hosted the inaugural Solheim Cup, where the
United States defeated Europe.
The Gainbridge LPGA will be the second of five events in Florida
during the 2021 season.
