Something is happening on the LPGA Tour for the first time since 2023

Something is happening on the LPGA Tour for the first time since 2023

This is an exciting week for the LPGA Tour.

Phoenix, Arizona is the site of the 2026 Ford Championship where Whirlwind golf Club (Cattail Course) will specifically play host to the action. Hyo Joo Kim, who is coming off of winning last week’s Fortinet Founders Cup, won the event in 2025, but its 2024 winner is a part of something interesting happening this week on Tour at large.

Nelly Korda won here throughout her decorated 2024 season, but the entirety of that run happened without ever lining up in a field that featured her sister. Jessica Korda has been absent from the LPGA Tour for a little while now, but she is indeed part of this week’s event.

It has been almost three years since the Korda sisters were a part of the same field. Specifically, the last time the duo was in one together was the 2023 Cognizant Founders Cup. Time sure does fly.

It will be great to see the Kordas and the entire LPGA Tour in action all week long.

Deadspin | Canucks dismiss GM Patrik Allvin after last-place finish  Nov 12, 2023; Montreal, Quebec, CAN; View of a Vancouver Canucks logo on a jersey worn by a member of the team against the Montreal Canadiens during the second period at Bell Centre. Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images   The Vancouver Canucks fired general manager Patrik Allvin on Friday after the club’s last-place finish in the Western Conference.  Allvin was hired on Jan. 26, 2022. Since then, the Canucks have one playoff appearance. They won the Pacific Division in the 2023-24 season (50-23-9, 109 points) but lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Edmonton Oilers in seven games.  Vancouver finished the 2025-26 season with a 25-49-8 record (58 points).  “I would like to thank Patrik for all his hard work over the past four seasons,” president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford said in a news release. “Under his guidance we have accumulated a lot of good young talent, and he has helped us lay the foundation of our rebuild. This season was disappointing for everyone in the organization, and we understand how frustrating it was for those who care about the team. Moving forward our goal will be to continue to bring in younger players who can grow together with our current group and form our next competitive core.”   Before arriving in Vancouver, Allvin, 51, filled a variety of roles with the Pittsburgh Penguins over a 16-year span, rising to assistant general manager. The club won three Stanley Cup titles in that span.  He has worked in front offices since 2002, when he joined the Montreal Canadiens as a European scout after retiring as a player, largely in his native Sweden.  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Canucks #dismiss #Patrik #Allvin #lastplace #finishNov 12, 2023; Montreal, Quebec, CAN; View of a Vancouver Canucks logo on a jersey worn by a member of the team against the Montreal Canadiens during the second period at Bell Centre.

Deadspin | Carlos Alcaraz (wrist) withdraws from Madrid Open  Mar 14, 2026; Indian Wells, CA, USA; Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) reacts as a ball gets past him at the net during his semifinal match against Daniil Medvedev (RUS) in the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images   World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz announced Friday that his wrist injury will keep him out of next week’s Madrid Open.  Following tests on his right wrist, the 22-year-old Spaniard pulled out of the Barcelona Open on Wednesday prior to his second-round match.  Alcaraz, who could have regained the No. 1 ranking from Italy’s Jannik Sinner by winning the title in Barcelona, will sit out the ATP 1000-level clay-court tournament in Madrid for the second consecutive year due to injury.  “There is some news that is incredibly hard to share,” Alcaraz posted on X in Spanish on Friday. “Madrid is home, one of the most special places on my calendar, and that’s why it hurts so much not to be able to play here for the second year in a row.   “It hurts especially not to be in front of my people, in a tournament that means so much. Thank you for the unwavering affection, and I hope we see each other soon.”  Alcaraz won the tournament in the Spanish capital in 2022 and 2023.  Alcaraz is 22-3 this season, including his 25th and 26th career titles at the Australian Open and Qatar Open. The seven-time grand slam winner is the two-time defending champion at the French Open, which begins May 24.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Carlos #Alcaraz #wrist #withdraws #Madrid #OpenMar 14, 2026; Indian Wells, CA, USA; Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) reacts as a ball gets past him at the net during his semifinal match against Daniil Medvedev (RUS) in the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
