LPGA Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Canceled After Heavy Rainstorm

The 2025 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship on the LPGA Tour was cancelled after heavy rain rendered the Pinnacle Country Club course unplayable, with more than 3 inches of rain falling overnight and forecasts predicting continued poor weather. The tournament, originally a 54-hole event, was reduced to an unofficial 18-hole competition, with no CME points awarded and no official winner declared. Tournament officials and the LPGA, after consulting meteorologists and course staff, concluded that completing 36 holes was highly unlikely, leading to the decision to cancel the remainder of the event. Walmart and P&G, the event sponsors, committed to paying more than required for a cancellation and ensuring all players receive compensation regardless of their leaderboard position after 18 holes. The cancellation was particularly disappointing for Allison Lee, who was tied for the lead and making her second LPGA start since giving birth four months prior. The next LPGA event is scheduled to take place in two weeks in Hawaii.
