It appears that women’s professional golf is headed back to the course in the next few weeks. The LPGA Tour announced Tuesday that it will resume its 2020 season with back-to-back events in Northwest Ohio.
The Marathon LPGA Classic presented by Dana, which had been scheduled to take place July 23-26 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio, has accommodated the LPGA request to shift its dates and will now be held August 6-9. Additionally, the Marathon LPGA Classic will allow spectators on site following recent approval from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.
This schedule adjustment allows the LPGA Tour to add a new three-day event in the Toledo area, the LPGA Drive On Championship. The three-day, official tournament will be held July 31 to August 2 at Inverness Club. Televised on Golf Channel, the LPGA Drive On Championship will feature a field of 144 players competing for a $1 million purse and will take place without sponsors, pro-ams or spectators.
