The 10th annual Founders Cup, which will be a full-field, four-day event featuring a $1.5 million purse, will be televised on Golf Channel. Jin Young Ko is the defending champion.
 
The Founders Cup was established in 2011 as a tribute to the 13 original founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and to help continue the growth of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program, which has received over $3 million from tournament proceeds.
 
In 1950, the dreams and visions of 13 courageous women who wanted to play professional golf became a reality with the founding of the LPGA. The 13 LPGA founders are: Alice Bauer, Patty Berg, Bettye Danoff, Helen Dettweiler, Marlene Bauer Hagge, Helen Hicks, Opal Hill, Betty Jameson, Sally Sessions, Marilynn Smith, Shirley Spork, Louise Suggs and Babe Zaharias.
