Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play, Professional women's golf tournament in Las Vegas, United States
Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play is a professional golf tournament featuring top female competitors in head-to-head matches at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas. The event uses match-play format, where golfers compete individually against one another rather than tallying cumulative scores against the entire field.
The tournament was established in 2021, making it one of the newer events on the LPGA Tour calendar. Its first champion was Ally Ewing, who defeated Sophia Popov in the inaugural final.
This tournament creates a bridge between professional women's golf and the Asian-American community through its title sponsor Bank of Hope. The partnership reflects how sports events can strengthen ties within specific communities and celebrate their presence in professional athletics.
The tournament takes place in Las Vegas in early March when the Nevada weather is favorable for outdoor activities. Spectators can watch matches on-site during tournament days to experience professional women's golf competition directly.
This is the only match-play format event on the LPGA Tour schedule, requiring completely different competition strategies than regular tournaments. Because golfers compete hole-by-hole against individual opponents rather than posting total scores, the tournament demands a distinct tactical approach.
