Wildhorse Resort & Casino Hosts the Epson Tour Stop for Fourth Consecutive Year

Wildhorse Resort & Casino will host the 2025 Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic — a tournament on the Epson Tour, the official qualifying tour of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) — from August 15–17. 

The seven-day affair will be similar to last year’s event, with youth clinics, Pro-Am tournaments, and the professional women’s tournament occurring during the final three days. 

“We are honored to welcome these inspiring professional athletes to our tribal lands in Eastern Oregon,” said Gary E. George, CEO of Wildhorse Resort & Casino. “Our Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic is representative of economic systems working together to benefit the tribe and community as we grow the game.”  

Founded in 1999 as the LPGA Futures Tour, the Epson Tour is the official developmental golf tour of the LPGA, where players can earn LPGA Tour membership through the Race for the Card. More than 300 players have gone on to play in the LPGA, including Epson Tour Players of the Year Gabriela Ruffels, Linnea Strom, Lilia Vu, Ana Belac and Perrine Delacour.  

The 2024 event saw Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum break the 54-hole scoring record at 21 under par and claim her first Epson Tour victory. 

Admired for its impeccably maintained fairways and challenging greens, Wildhorse Golf Course has hosted many local and regional amateur and professional tournaments.  

The Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic will be seeking about 125 volunteers to help with many tasks during the event. Volunteers will assist with scoring, help with parking and ticket distribution, serve as marshals and spotters, help VIPs and vendors, provide housing for Epson Tour competitors, and much more.
