PGA and LPGA Mixed-Team Event in 2023

Posted on December 5, 2022 by Mark Farrow

PGA Tour and LPGA Tour To Create Mixed-Team Event in 2023

For the first time since 1999, the PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour will feature a mixed-team event on their schedules. The QBE Shootout, which will be staged this week in Naples, Fla., will become a joint tournament in 2023, according to the Associated Press.
Two LPGA superstars—Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson—were added to this year’s tournament. The No. 2 and No. 7 players in the world will be paired with Denny McCarthy and Maverick McNealy, respectively. Although details have not been confirmed about the format or qualification guidelines for next year’s edition, fans can expect to see approximately 12 male-female teams instead of just two. The PGA Tour declined to provide further details to Sports Illustrated.

The PGA Tour and LPGA Tours last featured a mixed-event on their schedules in 1999 with the JC Penney Classic. The event ran from 1960 to 1999, but was canceled due to a lack of interest from top players. Past winners include John Daly and Laura Davies. In 1996, Tiger Woods competed alongside fellow U.S. Amateur champion Kelli Kuehne.

“I think it’s something that needed to be done for quite a while,” Billy Horschel told the Associated Press. “When you look at the game of golf, the fans want to see more team events, see something different. It’s going to benefit the PGA Tour, but I think it’s going to benefit the LPGA Tour even more in terms of getting more exposure.”

Past winners of the JC Penney also praised the return of the mixed-format event.

“This is long overdue. It will be a massive boost,” said Dottie Pepper, who took home the 1992 title with partner Dan Forsman. “It was a fun week. And if you were in contention, it was a grind.”

The 2022 QBE Shootout boasts a $3.8 million purse, where teams share equal portions of the payout. The first round will commence on Friday, Dec. 1 with coverage beginning on Golf Channel at 1:00 p.m. ET.

ABOUT SFCC

Since 1925, Seneca Falls Country Club has been one of the premier golf destinations in the Finger Lakes region.

Our meticulously groomed 18-hole championship golf course overlooking Cayuga Lake is the perfect combination of play-ability, beauty and challenge.

For the beginning player, our course is fun and accessible. For the low handicapper, an engaging challenge. And for everyone in between, a compelling par 72 parkland layout whether enjoying your first time around or you’ve played the track for decades.

We embrace our shared history with Seneca Falls, the birthplace of women’s rights and a national historical park. Our first golf pro, Mr. Charles Cambell, came directly from Scotland. In the 1940’s our head pro George McLean was a member of the original Ryder Cup team. We have hosted legendary entertainer Bob Hope and former President Dwight Eishenhower at SFCC. In 2012 Seneca Falls Country Club hosted the NYS Women’s Amateur Championship and our own Club Championship tournament has been contested for over 80 consecutive years.

Retreat to our 115 acres to enjoy competition and camaraderie with friends, refresh in the crisp lake country air and connect with the spirit of the generations who have strolled these same fairways over the past century. We promise an experience that offers a blend of old school country club charm with a welcoming appreciation towards all those who love the game of golf.
