Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions
The Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It debuted in 2019 at the Four Season Golf & Sports Club Orlando. The tournament field is limited to winners on LPGA Tour events in the previous two years. As is the case in the past, there is also a pro-am and celebrity tournament, like its predecessor. The top amateurs during the midweek pro-am are invited to play in the main tournament. Each professional is paired with two celebrities or amateurs in the groupings, and celebrities change per round. A Stableford-based system is used for the celebrities and amateurs.
Ji Eun-hee won the inaugural event by two strokes over Mirim Lee.
