The Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic is the only Epson Tour event to be held in Oregon this year. It is an official event on the LPGA qualifying tour, attracting top players from around the world as they vie for a chance to play on the professional circuit next season. In fact, more than 130 professional women golfers representing 40 countries will compete in Pendleton this summer, including Kim Kaufman, Min-G Kim, Dabin Lee, and Brianna Do.

“It’s exciting to be a part of growing the game by showcasing these impressive international athletes and the excitement of the LPGA right here in Oregon,” said George. “Throughout the week that the Epson Tour is here in town, we are providing opportunities for tribe members and local youth to meet and learn from these impressive women, as they reach for their own dreams to join the LPGA tour.”

The Epson Tour season includes 22 tournaments across the country from March through October, with $5 million in prize money at stake. This year, the purse for the 2023 Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic is $200,000. The 2023 Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic in Pendleton includes the Pro-Am Tournament, August 16-17, and the Ladies Golf Classic, August 18-20. A trophy presentation will be held immediately following the event’s final round on Sunday, August 20 at the 18th tee.
