The Corning Classic is scheduled to return to the LPGA Tour in 2027, marking the event's comeback after an 18-year hiatus. The tournament will be held in Corning, New York, where it previously maintained a 31-year history as a popular small-market fixture on the tour.
In its return, the tournament will feature a $5 million purse. This financial commitment positions the event as one of the most lucrative tournaments on the LPGA schedule outside of the major championships.
