Ticket, volunteer opportunities available for area sports fans at Bradenton Country Club

BRADENTON, Fla., Jan. 14, 2025 – The LPGA is happy to announce today that the U.S. Virgin Islands has been named presenting sponsor for the 2025 Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands. On Feb. 6-9, 2025, the LPGA Tour will return to Bradenton Country Club for the first full-field event of what is sure to be an unforgettable LPGA Tour season.

“The U.S. Virgin Islands is excited to be partnering with the LPGA and continuing to strengthen our connectivity to the golf community,” said Commissioner Joseph Boschulte of the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism.

The 2025 Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands will be the second LPGA Tour event hosted at Bradenton Country Club. In 2024, the LPGA Drive On Championship kicked off an incredible season for Bradenton native Nelly Korda. She won the title in a two-hole playoff with fellow superstar Lydia Ko, marking her first victory in more than a year. It also opened the floodgates for one of the most historic seasons in LPGA Tour history, as Korda went on to capture seven total victories, including four consecutive wins, en route to capturing Rolex Player of the Year honors.

Korda and Ko lead the list of preliminary entries for the 2025 Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands, a list that also includes major champions Celine Boutier, Allisen Corpuz, Ayaka Furue, Hannah Green, Brooke Henderson, Danielle Kang and Yuka Saso.

This is the 14th edition of the Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands, an event that celebrates the 13 Founding Members of the LPGA Tour, who created the Association in 1950. The list of Founders Cup champions is a who’s-who of the best talent on the LPGA Tour, with past winners including major champions Jin Young Ko, Minjee Lee, Stacy Lewis and Rose Zhang.
