Hong Kong SAR, China: The LPGA Tour is set to return to Hong Kong following a 51-year absence. The limited field Futu Ladies World Championship Presented by Moomoo will be staged at The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club from March 4-7, 2027.
The first LPGA Tour event in Hong Kong since 1976, the US$3.4 million Futu Championship will act as the concluding leg of the LPGA’s 2027 spring Asia swing, following on from the Honda LPGA Thailand and the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore.
A strategic partnership between the LPGA, moomoo, SMK and title sponsor Futu Holdings Limited, the Futu Championship aims to create opportunities to support youth golf in Hong Kong while promoting the women’s game throughout the Greater Bay Area and across Asia.
LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler said: “Our fans across Asia have always been some of the most passionate in the world and going to strong markets that match that energy matters to us. We couldn’t be more excited to bring the Tour to Hong Kong.
“This event checks every box we look for – a championship-calibre course, a market ready for the Tour, a perfect fit within our spring Asia swing, and partners who share our vision. We’re very thankful for Futu, moomoo, and SMK, whose support made it possible.”
Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US, said: “At moomoo, we believe in backing people who put in the work, who study, strategise and perform at the highest level. That is what we see in our investors, and it is exactly what we see in the world-class athletes of the LPGA. We are proud to partner with the LPGA and SMK to meaningfully invest in women’s sports, bring the very best of women’s golf to Hong Kong and help inspire the next generation of athletes across Asia.”
Sum Huang, CEO of SMK, added: “This city deserves more premium world-class professional sports events to match its global status. SMK’s multi-year commitment will help make the Futu Championship a real long-term anchor mega event for Hong Kong.”
