2021 LPGA Women’s Golf: Back-to-Back On the Bay

The LPGA Tour will feature a back-to-back visit to the Bay Area in 2021.

Things will start off June 3-6 with the playing of the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open on The Lake Course at The Olympic Club. The championship will mark the first time a major women’s competition will be held on the elite layout.

The following week (June 10-13)  and just 4 miles away, Lake Merced Golf Club will host the annual LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship.

“Lake Merced is such a special place to me, both as the site of my first LPGA Tour win as a professional in 2014 and for my eagle in a playoff in 2018, which is definitely one of the highlights of my career,” said 15-time LPGA Tour winner Lydia Ko. “I always love going to San Francisco, and to add the opportunity to play a major at The Olympic Club is just amazing. Thank you to the USGA for bringing us to one of the most iconic venues in the country.”

Lee Westwood was voted as the European Tour's golfer of the year for 2020 on Monday, winning the award for the fourth time in his career after ending the season as the Race to Dubai champion at the age of 47.

Tiger and Charlie Woods clearly had a blast at the PNC Championship -- a father and son enjoying golf. Maybe the son will end up being the one to help his father's game.

Charlie Woods was the talk of the PNC Championship, and although he and his dad, Tiger Woods, finished seventh, the elder Woods called the weekend "incredibly special for us."

Jin Young Ko missed most of the LPGA Tour season and still won the yearlong money title by claiming the CME Group Tour Championship and its $1.1 million top prize.

Justin Thomas and father Mike used a birdie on the 18th hole for a 15-under 57 in the scramble format and a one-shot victory over Vijay Singh and son Qass at the PNC Championship.

The famous father watched his son hit a lot of impressive shots. But for Tiger Woods, this was all about making sure Charlie had fun. Along the way, they both had a blast.

Sei Young Kim shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a 1-stroke lead over top-ranked Jin Young Ko into the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship.

Tiger Woods and his 11-year-old son, Charlie, combined to shoot 10-under-par 62 in the first round of the PNC Championship.

Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, already has his own highlight-reel moment. Watch it for yourself.

The Most Requested Test in MyGolfSpy History

Is newer really better? Every release cycle, golf companies claim that new equipment will outperform the metrics on past models. “Distance any way you swing it!”  “Speed with no limits!”  “The longest, straightest, best looking and best sounding drivers we’ve ever made!” You’ve heard it all. Those golf companies want you to think that if you want to improve your game you should be investing in their new technology.

But is technology developing as fast as the marketing slogans say it is? Our job is to find out. We convened a special and unprecedented test.

Every Most Wanted driver winner from 2016-2020, pitted head to head to crown the ultimate champion.

The MyGolfSpy Way

35 testers were tabbed to take 2500 combined shots with each of our previous titleholders using our Foresight GCQuad Launch Monitors .

This is the most requested test in MyGolfSpy history and the results are worth all of your inquiries and each of the 2500 swings. We calculated strokes gained values, distance, and forgiveness to determine the best performing driver of the Most Wanted Era.

Jin Young Ko took the lead into the weekend in the LPGA Tour's CME Group Tour Championship, with defending champion Sei Young Kim and 2018 winner Lexi Thompson one stroke behind.

The 34 official LPGA Tour events in the 2021 season offer a record $76.45 million in prize money.

Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, is catching the attention as he becomes the youngest player to ever compete at the PNC Championship.
