The LPGA Tour returns to the Phoenix, Arizona this weekend for an unseasonably hot weekend in the desert. For the second year in a row, the event will be played at Whirlwind Golf Club at Wild Horse Pass.
This is by far the strongest field of the LPGA Tour season so far with eight of the top 10 players in the Rolex Rankings. That includes the top four players, Jeeno Thitikul, Nelly Korda, Charley Hull and defending champion, No. 4 ranked Hyo Joo Kim, who is coming off a win last week at the Fortinet Championship. Each of the top four players in the Rolex Rankings have a worldwide win in 2026.
Once again on the West Coast swing, the LPGA Tour will be playing in primetime on the East Coast. Here is how to watch all four rounds of The Ford Championship (All times Eastern):
Thursday – Sunday: Every day of The Ford Championship has the same hours, with already this season there being more consistency of coverage day-to-day. Coverage kicks off every day at 6:00 PM, streaming on Golf Channel’s website. At 7:00, it is scheduled to move over to regular TV coverage on Golf Channel. It is scheduled to run for two hours after that, or until play is completed on the weekend.
