LPGA Mediheal Championship at Lake Merced, Daly City, CA: 10-13 June 2021
The inaugural LPGA Mediheal Championship was held in 2018. That year, Australia's Minjee Lee tied with NZ's Lydia Ko on 12-under 276 at the end of the 4th round, both four shots ahead of a chasing group, before Lydia Ko took out the title with an eagle putt at playoff.
In 2019 South Korea's Kim Sei-young won, also after playoff. She is this year's defending champion following the cancellation of the event in 2020 due to Covid.
