Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2026 Virtual Scramble presented by PGA TOUR Superstore!

Because of you, we raised $8,800 for the Women on Par Scholarship and Grant, helping create opportunities, build confidence, and change the lives of women in communities across the country. Thank you for making a difference - both on and off the course!

The 2026 Virtual Scramble presented by PGA TOUR Superstore is off to a great start!

Golfers across the Association are already teeing it up - and there’s still time to join the fun through August 2.

Grab your foursome, choose a course (or play the Fun Division at your favorite simulator facility), and enjoy a round on your schedule while supporting the Women on Par Scholarship and Grant Program.

We are excited to announce the five LPGA Amateurs Chapters selected as the inaugural recipients of the 2026 Women on Par Grant: Southern Maryland, Pittsburgh, Myrtle Beach, Minnesota Metro, and Huntsville!

At LPGA Amateurs, we are driven by a powerful vision: to enrich the lives of women through the game of golf. The Women on Par Grant helps bring that vision to life by empowering Chapters to create meaningful programs that support, inspire, and uplift women in their local communities.

This year’s recipients demonstrated a strong commitment to introducing women who are not yet LPGA Amateurs members to the personal, professional, and social benefits of the game. Through innovative programming, these Chapters will help more women get “on par” by building confidence, creating connections, and fostering a sense of community through golf.

The Women on Par Grant is made possible in part through the support of members who participate in fundraising initiatives such as the LPGA Amateurs Virtual Scramble presented by PGA TOUR Superstore. Every team that participates helps expand access to golf, education, and supports impactful programs like these across our Association.

We look forward to sharing the stories and impact of these programs. Congratulations to our 2026 Women on Par Grant recipients, and thank you for your dedication to growing the game, expanding access to golf, and making a lasting difference in your communities.

Another successful Championship Open is in the books as ladies from across the country gathered at Barefoot Resort & Golf’s Dye Course in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for two days of competitive individual stroke play on July 10 -11.

The LPGA Amateurs Golf Association Championship Open is an individual stroke-play competition, bringing together players from across the country to compete for championship honors. The event featured two 18-hole rounds played over two days, with competition conducted on both a gross and net score basis. Players competed in a flighted format designed to provide a competitive and rewarding experience for golfers of all skill levels, with winners recognized in both Gross and Net categories throughout the field.

Competitors tested their skills on Barefoot Resort & Golf’s Dye Course, one of Pete Dye’s most memorable designs. Bordering the natural white sands of the Carolina Bays, the course combines beauty and strategy with many of the signature features that have defined Dye’s legendary layouts. Native grasses, strategically placed hazards, and challenging shot demands require players to carefully navigate each hole, rewarding thoughtful course management and precision. While the course presents plenty of challenges, its thoughtful design allows players of all abilities to enjoy a true championship golf experience when played from the appropriate set of tees.

After 36 holes of competition, Overall Low Gross and Overall Low Net champions were crowned, along with Gross and Net winners in each flight. Kathy Dearborn (Chicago Metro) captured the Overall Low Gross Championship after posting rounds of 72–81 for a two-day total of 153 (+9). Deborah Sprich (Phoenix Metro) earned Overall Low Net honors with a tournament-best net score of 136 (-8).

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The LPGA Amateur Golf Association is proud to announce PGA TOUR Superstore as the official presenting partner of the 2026 LPGA Amateurs Virtual Scramble, taking place July 10 through August 2.

This presenting partnership marks a significant expansion of PGA TOUR Superstore’s dedicated support for the LPGA Amateurs community. Already serving as a vital partner through initiatives like the Hole-In-One sponsorship and exclusive member shopping discounts, PGA TOUR Superstore is deepening its investment in women’s golf experiences. Together, the two organizations are teaming up to provide expanded playing opportunities, foster a stronger connection to members, drive localized chapter involvement, and elevate friendly competition across the United States and abroad.

“PGA TOUR Superstore offers a natural alignment between retail golf leadership and our digital fundraising experience,” said Laura Diaz, Senior Director Social Impact and Operations for the LPGA. “We are honored to partner together to make the 2026 Virtual Scramble our most impactful and memorable tournament yet.”

“There’s just something about golf that brings people together, out on the course or playing along in things like the LPGA’s Amateurs Virtual Scramble,” said Rebecca Charles, Chief Customer Officer, PGA TOUR Superstore. “The energy and momentum in women’s golf right now is unreal. It’s all coming from a community that shows up for the connection, the competition, and honestly just the joy of getting out and playing.”

Created in 2020 to maintain community connection and eng

age golfers nationwide, the Virtual Scramble has grown into a highly successful digital fundraising experience, raising $160,000 to date. The event allows LPGA Amateurs members from the United States, Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic to compete together regardless of their physical location.

The format features four players per team competing in a standard four-person scramble at any course of their choosing that is a par-72. Teams may choose to play in the Competitive Division (handicaps & scorecards required) or the Fun Division. Prizes are awarded based on Gross and Net scores for first, second and third place in each division, with participants also having the chance to win individual prizes through side contests. As a bonus, non-members who join the Virtual Scramble will receive a complimentary LPGA Amateurs Virtual Community Membership.

All proceeds from entry fees directly benefit the Women on Par Scholarship and Grant established in 2007, the scholarship supports non-traditional female students over the age of 30 pursue higher education for the first time. More than 40 women have successfully obtained college degrees since the scholarship was created. Launched in 2025, the grant is designed to help women get “on par” by expanding access to the many benefits the game of golf can provide

To elevate the prestige of this year’s event, PGA TOUR Superstore is providing premium tournament prizes and awards for participants. This
