Atlantic City’s kickoff professional sporting event of the summer returns with new dates and a new name that honors the past while looking ahead to the future. The ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern, entering its 38th year in 2026, will take place May 29-31 at Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in Galloway, N.J., where 144 of the world’s best female professional golfers will compete for a share of the $2 million purse, a $250,000 increase from 2025.
Tickets are now on sale and volunteer registration is now open for the ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern at www.ShopRiteLPGA.com.
Wakefern Food Corp., the new presenting sponsor of the championship and the largest retailer-owned supermarket cooperative in the United States, is made up of members who independently own and operate hundreds of supermarkets throughout the Northeast, including all ShopRite supermarkets.
“We’ve long been a supporter and sponsor of this great event and are expanding that commitment now as presenting sponsor to ensure a lasting impact on the community and women’s sports. The ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern is the perfect platform for us to do that, and we are excited to continue to expand our partnership in making this premier event even better with new initiatives and new ways to give back and support the athletes and the community in 2026 and beyond,” said Wakefern President Mike Stigers.
ShopRite continues its decades-long tradition of supporting women’s golf and giving back to community-based organizations through the ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern. Since 1992, ShopRite has donated more than $45 million to area hospitals, food banks, education and youth programs and other community champions through its work with the LPGA. At the 2025 edition of the championship, dozens of nonprofits received donations totaling more than $1.8 million during a luncheon hosted by Wakefern and ShopRite.
The ShopRite LPGA powered by Wakefern has been a launch pad for several of the game’s preeminent players to kick start their LPGA Tour careers, including Paula Creamer, Brooke Henderson and Lexi Thompson. The tournament annually boasts one of the strongest fields on the LPGA Tour and has featured many of the game’s greatest players as past champions, including Juli Inkster, Betsy King, Dottie Pepper, Seri Pak, Annika Sorenstam, Cristie Kerr, Stacy Lewis, Karrie Webb, Henderson and Thompson.
