Trackman Fan Challenge brings the excitement of the LPGA and CME Group Tour Championship to virtual golf

Players around the world can compete, take on LPGA pros, and experience Tiburón Golf Club's Gold Course in a series of events celebrating the 2026 LPGA season finale.

Hørsholm, Denmark and Naples, Fla. — Trackman is celebrating the 2026 CME Group Tour Championship with Trackman Fan Challenge, a series of virtual golf events taking place before, during, and after the LPGA Tour's season-ending championship at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida.

The festivities began October 29 with the release of Tiburón's Gold Course on Trackman Range and simulators, giving players around the world the opportunity to experience the championship venue in Florida for themselves.

As the world's best female golfers prepare to compete for one of the most prestigious titles in women's golf, Trackman Fan Challenge heats up with a Closest-to-Pin tournament running November 16–29. Participants will have the opportunity to compete against LPGA Tour professionals and the chance to win exclusive prizes.

The CME Group Tour Championship itself takes place November 19–22 at Tiburón, bringing the LPGA's 2026 season to a thrilling conclusion.

But the Trackman Fan Challenge celebration doesn't end when the champion is crowned.

On November 23, Trackman will release an exclusive Sunday Setup version of Tiburón's Gold Course on Trackman simulators, featuring the tee and pin positions used during the championship's final round. The release gives virtual golfers the opportunity to experience the same course setup that challenged the world's best players on Sunday.

The events that make up the Trackman Fan Challenge create a new way for golfers to connect with the LPGA Tour — not just by watching the action unfold, but by stepping up to the same shots, taking on the same challenges, and joining the competition themselves.

“The LPGA players are going to put on a great show at Tiburón,” said Trackman CEO Klaus Eldrup-Jørgensen. “We want to give fans a chance to be part of it, too. Whether you're competing in one of the tournaments or just seeing how you'd handle the course, there's something here for every golfer.”

“We are constantly exploring new ways to bring fans closer to our players and the game,” said Craig Kessler, LPGA Commissioner. "We’re excited for Trackman to let golfers everywhere experience Tiburón, see how their game stacks up and feel like they’re part of the CME Group Tour Championship. It’s a fun, accessible way to connect with the LPGA and the athletes who inspire so many people around the world.”
