As the LPGA Tour season kickoff, the annual tournament brings together entertainment, music and sports celebrities to compete alongside top LPGA Tour winners from the previous two seasons in one of golf's most unique events. The HGV Tournament of Champions is known for offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences that extend beyond the golf course. An experiential highlight of the 2025 event will be an exclusive three-night private concert series headlined by Luke Bryan, Flo Rida and Chicago at Boxi Park in Lake Nona.
Country music superstar Luke Bryan will headline the concert series on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Iconic hip-hop artist Flo Rida will take the stage on Thursday, Jan. 30.

Rock band Chicago, known for chart-topping classics such as "Saturday in the Park" and "If You Leave Me Now," will deliver an electrifying evening of unforgettably timeless rock-and-roll on Tuesday, Jan. 28.
