Overview
- The Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions was cut to 54 holes at Lake Nona, with Nelly Korda declared the winner after leading through three rounds.
- Kessler acknowledged inconsistent and slow communication, told players he was "not prepared fully for Monday," and said the tour should have explored more options.
- He outlined steps to prevent a repeat, including clearer decision principles, stronger weekly contingency planning, faster real‑time updates, and a more centralized decision process.
- Players and observers questioned the call, with Lydia Ko lamenting the lack of a Monday finish and Annika Sorenstam noting the course was playable as celebrity amateurs and some pros were allowed on Sunday.
- The LPGA has not completed an event on a Monday since 2020, a gap that complicated contingency planning as the tour now turns to its Asia swing beginning Feb. 19 in Thailand.
