GALLOWAY, N.J., May 19, 2025 – Tournament officials at the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer announced today several new enhancements and initiatives at the 2025 edition of the championship that are designed to help athletes with the costs often associated with competition.

“We believe in empowering women athletes and creating opportunities for them to shine on and off the course, and sometimes that involves making sure they have the resources they need to compete,” said Mike Stigers, president of Wakefern Food Corp., the supermarket cooperative and logistics, merchandising and distribution arm for ShopRite stores. “We want to create a lasting impact by supporting women golfers, engaging fans and helping grow the great game of golf. The ShopRite LPGA Classic is the perfect platform for us to do that, and we look forward to an exciting tournament that inspires the next generation of players.”

“The LPGA Tour is extremely thankful for the continued support of all partners involved in the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer,” said Liz Moore, Interim LPGA Commissioner. “The tournament has a dedicated history that aligns with our mission of using the game of golf to empower, inspire and advance opportunities for girls and women through its events on and off the golf course. We are looking forward to another outstanding year in Atlantic City.”

Atlantic City’s largest sporting event and one of the longest-running events on the LPGA Tour schedule, the ShopRite LPGA Classic is returning for its 37^th year in 2025, taking place June 2-8 on the Bay Course at Seaview, A Dolce Hotel in Galloway, New Jersey. New initiatives this year include ‘Team ShopRite,’ which will provide sponsorship and financial support to five deserving golfers as they chase their dreams on the LPGA Tour circuit and play the game they love while also reflecting ShopRite’s commitment to giving back to the community.

The five players who will be a part of the inaugural year of Team ShopRite include LPGA Tour winner and Solheim Cup veteran Cheyenne Knight; Junior All-American Gianna Clemente; LPGA rookie Caley McGinty and LPGA professionals strong>Gurleen Kaur and Brooke Matthews, who recently embarked on their LPGA careers.

Each player on Team ShopRite will participate in tournament week activities during the ShopRite LPGA Classic and other charitable events throughout the year. In addition, they will represent the ShopRite brand with a logo on their collars and participate in player appearances with ShopRite during the year.

ShopRite has been a tremendous partner in elevating women’s sports and giving back to the community, and we look forward to our partnership for years to come.”

“I’m honored to be joining Team ShopRite. They have done so much for the LPGA and charities, which are values I share,” said Knight. “The ShopRite LPGA Classic supports so much in the community, and I look forward to teeing it up at Seaview in June.
