LPGA Walmart NW Arkansas Championship: Schedule, venue, prize purse and more

With the conclusion of the 2023 Solheim Cup, women golfers will head for the regular events. The LPGA Tour players will compete this week at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, an annual professional golf event that usually takes place in September.

In NW Arkansas' first edition in 2007, Stacy Lewis registered a one-stroke victory. Interestingly, the inaugural event was reduced to only 18-hole play. It was declared unofficial due to heavy rainfall. Lewis, who played as an amateur, took home the trophy and $625,000 in prize money, which was half the original purse.

Over the years, the tournament has undergone numerous name changes. It was initially called the LPGA NW Arkansas Championship presented by John Q. Hammons. That was changed to the P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship presented by John Q. Hammons in 2008.

It was named the P&G NW Arkansas Championship presented by Walmart in 2010 before being called Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G a yer later.
