Who won the 2024 Hilton Grand Vacations TOC?

Lydia Ko ended a 14-month winless drought on the LPGA, closing in 70 for a two-shot win over Alexa Pano.

It was Ko’s 20th tour victory and put her one point shy of qualifying for the LPGA Hall of Fame. She would later accomplish that by winning gold at the Olympic Games. She also added the AIG Women’s Open at St. Andrews to her resume along with the Kroger Queen City Championship.

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil won the celebrity division with 138 points, two clear of Sorenstam.
