Craig Kessler is painting an optimistic future for the LPGA Tour. The new commissioner is full of energy and ideas. He also has a “flywheel” and a “Venn diagram” to illustrates his plans. The first order of business was releasing the 2026 schedule. There are 31 official tournaments with official prize money that tops $128.5 million, a record. Fourteen tournaments have increases big and small in their purses. Kessler’s flywheel is an better broadcast production to grab fans. He hopes that leads to media rights and marketing partners. And more cash goes into the products.
