ShopRite LPGA Talking Points:
▪️ Jennifer Kupcho's Title Defense: Currently ranked No. 24, the defending champion aims to become the tournament's first back-to-back winner in a decade. After a slow start to 2026 due to an extended winter break, she enters with momentum from a recent T8 finish and hopes to secure a spot on Team USA for the upcoming Solheim Cup.
▪️ Brooke Henderson's Outlook: The 2022 tournament winner and world No. 26 is making her 10th career appearance at Seaview — a course where she has secured three top-10 finishes — and is adapting to a temporary caddie change while her sister Brittany is on maternity leave.
▪️ Key Field Standouts: The tournament features world No. 7 Charley Hull, who reached a historic career-high of No. 3 for an Englishwoman earlier this year, alongside five sponsor invitations extended to players Brooke Biermann, Gianna Clemente, Rachel Kuehn, Mia Hammond, and Annabelle Pancake-Webb.
▪️ Tournament Context: This 38th edition of the ShopRite LPGA is one of only two 54-hole events on the schedule.
