Taiwan Foxconn Ladies Golf Tournament 2026

The excitement is building for the upcoming Taiwan Foxconn Ladies Golf Tournament 2026, as the LPGA of Taiwan (TLPGA) and the Japan Ladies Professional Golfers' Association (JLPGA) have officially announced the return of this prestigious event. Scheduled to take place from March 12 to 15, 2026, at the Orient Golf Country Club located in Taoyuan, this tournament makes its comeback after nearly fifty years, featuring a record prize fund of $2 million.

This year, the tournament proudly unveils a new title, shifting from the previous branding, Foxconn TLPGA Players Championship, to assert its growth and fresh identity. The event is backed once again by the Hon Hai Technology Group, widely known as Foxconn, the world’s leading electronics manufacturer, along with SoftBank Corp, which will be participating as a new special sponsor. This partnership is expected to significantly enhance the tournament's stature within the Asian golf circuit.

The tournament’s history is rich, highlighted by the contributions of exceptional talents from the JLPGA. Notably, legends like Ai-yu Tu have left a significant mark, with Tu being a seven-time money winner on the JLPGA Tour and an illustrious member of the Japanese Golf Hall of Fame. Her legacy inspires new generations of players, and she serves as a special advisor for the Foxconn Ladies Golf Tournament, reinforcing Taiwan's pride in its golfing achievements.

Huang Pi-hsun, president of TLPGA, expressed her gratitude for Foxconn’s support, noting, “Ms. Tu’s remarkable achievements on the JLPGA Tour have brought immense pride to Taiwan. We are grateful for Foxconn’s commitment that has allowed this legendary competition to return to Taiwan after forty-eight years, providing young athletes a springboard to challenge the world.” This statement resonates with the hopes of many aspiring golfers who look to the tournament as an opportunity to showcase their talents on an elite platform.

On a similar note, Takako Matsuo, vice president of JLPGA, remarked on the tournament's significance, stating, “Thanks to the support from TLPGA and Foxconn, golf has reached elite levels. As one of the key tournaments in Asia this year, we look forward to welcoming Japanese female golfers to Taiwan for a high-level competition.”

The total prize purse of $2 million not only ranks as the second highest in the JLPGA Tour for 2026 but also sets a new record for this tournament sponsored by Foxconn since its inception in 2024. Originally designed as a players championship, it has distinguished itself with exceptional ranking points, substantial prize money, and a spirit of elite sportsmanship.
