Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic set to tee off; ‘Road to the LPGA Tour’ runs through Pendleton
Wildhorse Resort & Casino will again be the site of this summer’s Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic. The tournament will take place Aug. 21-23, with a week of activations beginning Monday, Aug. 17, focused on growing the game in the region. Ticket packages are on sale now.
The tournament’s return marks five consecutive years of partnership between Wildhorse Resort & Casino and the Epson Tour. Last year, Erika Hara emerged from a crowded leaderboard in the final round on Sunday to win at 18-under par. The victory proved pivotal, as Hara was among 15 players who earned LPGA Tour membership through the season-long points race. In total, 12 of those 15 players competed in last year’s Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic, underscoring the tournament’s competitive strength and draw.
“In our fifth year of hosting and welcoming the Epson Tour athletes to our tribal lands, our employees and sponsors look forward to making this our best edition of the Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic,” Gary E. George, CEO, Wildhorse Resort & Casino. “As we grow the game for our region and beyond, we see this golf tournament as an important contributor to the local economy.”
Partnership with The Standard Portland Classic
The Pacific Northwest’s only two professional women’s golf tournaments have partnered to grow the game and highlight its economic impact. Both tournament organizers have collaborated to create affordable ticket packages and schedule tournament dates on back-to-back weekends, maximizing the experience for guests, volunteers and golfers.
The package is a set of two (2) any single-day general admission tickets to The Standard Portland Classic and two (2) admission passes to the Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic in Pendleton, good for all three days of the tournament. Each single package purchase is for two (2) people. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via SeatGeek.
Individual Tickets
The tournament is played over three days, with an expected field of more than 140 golf professionals playing 18 holes per round. Three-day general admission tickets are $12, and single-day passes are available for $5. Youth admission is free when accompanied by a paid adult. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting here.
Youth Clinics
A favorite of tournament week, two free youth golf clinics, where young golfers will have the opportunity to receive expert instruction from Epson Tour professionals. Clinics will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 19, at Wildhorse Golf Course (morning session) and The Golf Course at Birch Creek (afternoon session). Future golfers interested can register here.
Additional Sponsorships
Critical to the event’s success, sponsors and partners continue to see value in the opportunities a professional sporting event provides in Eastern Oregon.
