It was just a few years ago that none of the professional golf tours made stops in Michigan. With the announcement that Travis Pointe in Ann Arbor would host an Epson Tour event, June 16-18, it will bring the total number of professional tournaments held in Michigan to seven.
The Epson Tour, the developmental tour for the LPGA, will also hold events on the Sweetgrass Course in the U.P. at the Island Resort & Casino. The Firekeepers Casino Hotel Championship will be held at the Battle Creek Country Club, July 29-31.
The LPGA Tour visits the state for two events, the Meijer Classic in Grand Rapids and the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
The PGA Tour Champions Ally Challenge, held annually at Warwick Hills Golf Club outside of Flint, has been very successful, plus the PGA TOUR’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit will be held for the fourth time this year.
Travis Pointe Golf Club previously hosted the LPGA for the Volvik Championship for three years, 2016-2018. The course offers a great test for the ladies and Michigan golf fans will get a good look at the LPGA stars of the future.
In 2022, The Epson Tour will hold 21 events across 13 states and will offer a record $4.41 million in total prize money. The season begins March 4-6 with the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic in Winter Haven, Fla., at the Country Club of Winter Haven.
