Every year Texas hosts the Volunteers of America Classic, an LPGA Tour event for professional women golfers. The first event was held in April 2013 at the Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, northwest of downtown Dallas. The sponsor of the title, Volunteers of America, is a nonprofit, faith-based organization. It primarily helps the poor across the country with housing and other needs.

For the tenth tournament, the Ascendant LPGA returned to the Old American Golf Club in The Colony, Texas. One of the event’s most vital fields will participate in its centennial celebration. Let’s learn more about the tour event’s specifics and prize distribution.
