This is the first ever Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions. The format is similar to the PGA Tour’s Sony Tournament of Champions which takes place in Maui the first weekend of January. However, unlike the Sony Tournament of Champions, which only included golfers who won tournaments on the PGA Tour in 2018, the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions includes women’s golfers who have won on the LPGA Tour in 2017 and 2018.
