LPGA Cancels NW Arkansas Championship After Rain Cuts Event to 18 Holes

Officials said forecasts through Tuesday made it impossible to complete the 36 holes needed for an official event.

Overview

  • Tournament organizers called off play after heavy rain, including an additional 3.25 inches overnight, left Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, unplayable.
  • Saturday’s second round was halted for the day at 3:25 p.m. local time, and no player completed more than three holes.
  • Because 36 holes could not be completed, scores revert to the first round only.
  • The event is unofficial with no CME points; the LPGA will announce purse details, and Walmart and P&G pledged to exceed required payouts and ensure every player receives compensation.
  • Sarah Schmelzel and Minami Katsu led after opening 8-under 63s; Alison Lee’s early second-round birdie is null and she returns to 7 under with five others.
