Three great events during LPGA tournament week in Northwest Arkansas | McLarty Daniel CDJR of Bentonville

The Walmart Northwest Arkansas Championship LPGA tournament is back for another big year of fun, food and sports, with over 140 of the world’s best athletes jetting in to play 18 holes for part of a $2 million dollar purse. Since its founding in 2007, the event has really become something like a week-long festival celebrating the people, places and environment of Northwest Arkansas, and McLarty Daniel Auto Group will be right there in the thick of things, as an event sponsor!

This year, events associated with the Walmart NWA Championship will be held from June 18-24 at various locations in Rogers and Bentonville. The official tournament will run from June 22-24 at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers.

LPGA tournament week is positively packed with great opportunities for fun. Read on for just a few of our favorite events during NWA Championship week!

1) CALL THE HOGS!: A huge draw at the Walmart NWA Championship this year will likely be Razorback Fan Day at the LPGA, on Saturday, June 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. The event, which will be held at the Hub479 tent on the 17th hole at Pinnacle Country Club, will feature an opportunity to meet members of the Razorback mens and womens’ golf teams, the Razorback mascot, and past Razorbacks who went on to be LPGA champions. Participants are encouraged to wear their Razorback apparel and be prepared to call them hogs!  

2) PLAY!: There are events for kids all week during the tournament, including a golf clinic by First Tee of Northwest Arkansas and a yoga for girls event sponsored by Dove, but for pure, unadulterated fun, be sure to take your little ones to the Sam’s Club Kids Center. Sponsored by Walmart affiliate Sam’s Club, the Kids Center is free and sure to be entertaining for children of all ages, with games, face painting, crafts, fun activities, a video putting practice and more. The Sam’s Club Kids Center is located at Pinnacle Country Club, and is open daily during the tournament from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., June 20-24.

3) WATCH!: Even world-class athletes have to practice to keep their skills at competition level, and the golfers of the LPGA are no exception. Prior to the NWA Championship tournament, the participants will be working on fundamentals before the tournament during an all-day practice session on Tuesday, June 19 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There’s no set schedule for practice, but ticket holders to the tournament are welcome to come quietly watch their favorites get ready to take on other competitors.
