UKG Named Official HR, Payroll, and Workforce Management Technology Partner of the LPGA

A major step forward in championing staff who take care of athletes, tournaments, and fans

The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and UKG announced today a multi-year partnership to make UKG the official human resources (HR), payroll, and workforce management technology partner of the LPGA.

Powered by AI and the world’s largest collection of people, work data, and employee sentiment data, UKG technology creates great workplace experiences and drives better business outcomes for 80,000+ organizations worldwide. The LPGA is implementing the UKG Ready HR, payroll, and workforce management suite to manage its staff of nearly 200 employees worldwide. This centralized UKG Ready hub for workforce data and insights will bolster operational efficiency and inform strategic business decisions in support of the LPGA’s staff, athletes, and guest experiences.

“The LPGA is proud to announce UKG as our official human resources, payroll, and workforce management technology partner,” said Liz Moore, interim LPGA commissioner. “In addition to being the number one workforce management provider in the world, UKG’s commitment to supporting the growth of women’s sports makes them the clear choice as our partner to support our people. We are excited to work with UKG and their cutting-edge solutions to propel the LPGA to new heights in business and in sports.”

The main objectives of the partnership include, but are not limited, to:

  • Helping the LPGA provide an exceptional employee experience
  • Boosting business efficiency with access to real-time data and insights in the AI-first UKG Ready suite
  • Creating a welcoming and empowering environment for women in the game of golf and business
  • Increasing brand awareness
  • Strengthening relationships with current and prospective UKG customers and stakeholders

“The LPGA has long been a beacon of empowerment for women in sports, showcasing their talent, resilience, and leadership on a global stage — and we share that same commitment to fostering environments where everyone can thrive,” said Rachel Barger, president, go-to-market at UKG. “At UKG, we believe in the transformative power of technology to create inclusive and supportive workplaces that drive productivity and positively impact customers and patrons. The UKG Ready suite will help the LPGA manage its workforce more efficiently and effectively, allowing the organization to focus on doing what it does best: empowering women both on and off the golf course and inspiring future generations.”

UKG’s history of success in helping professional sports teams manage the complexities of their on-the-move workforces was a significant factor in the LPGA’s decision to partner with the technology provider. The UKG Ready suite will help the LPGA ensure compliance with labor laws and tax regulations in 29 states where employees are located, as well as automate all aspects of the employee lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to payroll and performance management. UKG Bryte™ AI will additionally revolutionize operations with personalized workforce insights and conversational reporting, while the UKG Great Place To Work® Hub will provide access to critical employee sentiment benchmarking and actionable insights to help foster a positive workplace culture.

“We’re thrilled about the transformative impact UKG will have on the LPGA and our employee experience,” said Samantha Simmons, chief people and internal operations officer at LPGA. “UKG technology not only aligns with our goals of being a worldwide leader in sports and a top employer of choice, but this partnership also represents a monumental step forward in our commitment to taking care of the people who support our athletes, members, tournaments, and fans worldwide.”
