Webb, a seven-time major champion from Australia who is the 2013 ShopRite LPGA Classic champion, last competed on the LPGA Tour in January at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, where she finished T52.

“We are honored to have Karrie Webb return to Seaview for the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer, one of her favorite events on the LPGA Tour schedule,” said tournament director Bill Hansen. “We look forward to welcoming Karrie into our world-class field that serves as the kickoff sporting event for the summer in Atlantic City.”

Webb will join a 144-player international field at the ShopRite LPGA Classic that features past champions from the past 10 years including defending champion Celine Boutier, Mel Reid (2020), I.K. Kim (2017), two-time winners Anna Nordqvist (2015-16) and Stacy Lewis (2012, 2014) and Brittany Lincicome (2011). The current field includes several of the world’s top- ranked players, including World No. 1 Jin Young Ko, major champions Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and Inbee Park, and multiple LPGA Tour winner Nasa Hataoka.

New Jersey native Marina Alex, who captured her first LPGA Tour win in four years in April at the Palos Verdes Championship presented by Bank of America, also will return to South Jersey to compete in the ShopRite LPGA Classic, as will Philadelphia resident and LPGA Tour winner Meaghan Francella, current LPGA teaching professional at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

For three decades, golf fans from across the northeast have converged upon Atlantic City and the Jersey Shore to watch the top female golfers in the world compete on the famed waterfront course. The tournament not only hosts one of the strongest fields in women’s golf, but it also annually creates more than $19 million in economic activity in the region.

Since 1992, nearly $40 million has been donated to area hospitals, food banks, education and youth programs. At the 2021 ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer, dozens of nonprofits received grants and donations totaling more than $1.5 million during a luncheon hosted by Wakefern Food Corp., the logistics, merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite stores.

The 2021 ShopRite LPGA Classic, which took place in October and welcomed fans back to the championship, was won by Boutier, who recorded the second LPGA Tour title of her career. Boutier matched her career-low score on Sunday’s final-round with a 63 to reach 14-under par, holding off Jin Young Ko, Inbee Park and a charging Brooke Henderson.
