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.
In addition to Ann Arbor, the Epson Tour will 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, June 16-19 and the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, July 13-16.
The PGA Tour Champions Ally Challenge, to be held August 22-28 at Warwick Hills Golf Club outside of Flint, has been very successful, plus the PGA TOUR’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit (July 26-31) will be held for the fourth time this year.
