The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G is one of two 54-hole events left on the LPGA schedule. The other is the ShopRite Classic held back in the late spring. The first Walmart was contested in 2007. That tournament was played at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, and all seventeen editions since have been there. A three-day test tends to be a shoot-out, and the NW Arkansas Championship is no different. The average winning score at Pinnacle over the last decade is 18 under par. This is a THREE-day tournament! Two winners in the last 10 years have crossed the 20 under par plateau. I’ve mentioned this multiple times in recent newsletter narratives, but this is the last time the LPGA will play in the continental US until mid-November. As such, we have four of the top 10 players in the world competing alongside a field of 144 players.
