JOHNSTON, R.I. (April 2, 2024) – The LPGA Tour and FM Global are happy to announce that all athletes in the 2024 FM Global Championship field will receive complimentary hotel accommodations. All participating LPGA athletes will have exclusive access to a first-class property located within a short distance of TPC Boston, with all costs covered courtesy of title sponsor FM Global.

“We understand how hard LPGA athletes work to compete week in and week out on the Tour and the travel complexities they face,” said David Johnson, senior vice president, chief client experience officer at FM Global. “By offering athletes at the FM Global Championship complimentary accommodations, we hope to make their experience a little easier – so they can focus on the competition and playing the best they can.”

From Aug. 29 to Sept. 1, the 2024 FM Global Championship will feature a field of 144 players competing for a $3.5 million purse, one of the largest prize funds on the LPGA Tour outside of the majors and tour championship.

“When our friends at FM Global asked how they could continue to elevate this year’s competition, we knew that providing these accommodations would be a great relief to the athlete experience,” said Ricki Lasky, the LPGA’s chief tour business and operations officer. “We are very thankful for their partnership, and we look forward to bringing our world-class athletes to New England later this year.

The 2024 FM Global Championship marks the LPGA Tour’s return to New England for the first time since the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open, held at Orchards Golf Club in South Hadley, Mass., and won by Meg Mallon. The last time the Tour competed in the greater Boston area was 1997, when Liselotte Neumann won the Welch’s Championship at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton. Other notable women’s golf events held in Massachusetts include the 1954 and 1984 U.S. Women’s Opens at Salem Country Club in Peabody, the 1967-1968 and 1970-1974 KPMG Women’s PGA Championships at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, and the 1960 U.S. Women’s Open at Worcester Country Club in Worcester.

TPC Boston, located 25 miles south of Boston, opened in 2002 with an original layout by Arnold Palmer, followed by a 2007 redesign by Gil Hanse and Brad Faxon. The course has hosted 17 PGA Tour events, including the Deutsche Bank Championship, the Dell Technologies Championship and The Northern Trust. The 2024 FM Global Championship will be the first professional women’s competition held at TPC Boston.
