Indian Wells Golf Resort Hosts High-Stakes 2026 Epson Tour Championship Finale

The City of Indian Wells proudly returns as the presenting sponsor for the 2026 Epson Tour Championship, hosted at the newly redesigned Players Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort from September 28 to October 4. As the season-ending pinnacle, this tournament determines the final standings for the prestigious “Race for the Card,” where the top 15 competitors will secure their coveted LPGA Tour cards for the 2027 season.

This year’s championship introduces significant format enhancements, including a limited field of the top 80 players and a high-intensity 72-hole, no-cut structure. The event features a record-breaking $250,000 purse, with the champion receiving $100,000—a historic milestone in the tour's 46-year legacy.

Dr. Toper Taylor, Mayor of Indian Wells, emphasized the city's role as a premier destination for championship-caliber sports. By providing a world-class venue managed by Troon, Indian Wells continues to serve as the ultimate stage for athletes to realize their professional dreams. This partnership underscores a shared commitment to fostering excellence and supporting the next generation of female professional golfers as they transition to the LPGA Tour.
