The 2024 FM Global Championship marks the LPGA Tour's return to New England for the first time since the 2004 U.S. Women's Open, held at Orchards Golf Club in South Hadley, Massachusetts, and won by Meg Mallon. The last time the Tour competed in the greater Boston area was 1997, when Liselotte Neumann won the Welch's Championship at Blue Hill Country Club in Canton. Other notable women's golf events held in Massachusetts include the 1954 and 1984 U.S. Women's Opens at Salem Country Club in Peabody, the 1967-1968 and 1970-1974 KPMG Women's PGA Championships at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, and the 1960 U.S. Women's Open at Worcester Country Club in Worcester.

TPC Boston, located 25 miles south of Boston, opened in 2002 with an original layout by Arnold Palmer, followed by a 2007 redesign by Gil Hanse and Brad Faxon. The course has hosted 17 PGA Tour events, including the Deutsche Bank Championship, the Dell Technologies Championship and The Northern Trust. The 2024 FM Global Championship will be the first professional women's competition held at TPC Boston.
