Dow Championship 2024 is a Women’s team golf tournament, which takes place in the Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region. After the Last week’s Women’s PGA Championship, this tournament will be a refreshment to the players. Though the prize money is much less than the PGA Championship, there has been a record increment in the Dow Championship 2024 purse than last year.
The tournament field will be filled with top LPGA-ranked players. Last week’s golf major winner Amy Yang will pair up with Jennifer Song. LPGA’s 3rd ranked player Jin Young Ko will team up with Nasa Hataoka. Jin Young finished second in the PGA Championship last week. Celine Boutier and Yuka Saso are another promising duo. Cheyenne Knight and Elizabeth Szokol are the defending champions of the tournament.
