The PXG Women’s Match Play Championship is an official event on the East Coast Women’s Professional Golf Tour headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach. The ECWPGT is one of only three women’s pro developmental tours in the United States.
The tour’s mission is to create more and better playing opportunities for women aspiring to the LPGA Tour. Now in its second year, the PXG Women’s Match Play Championship features some of the brightest future stars of women’s golf who are pursuing their dream of playing on the LPGA Tour.
They will battle it out over a week-long endurance test that will combine a stroke-play and match-play tournament culminating under the spire of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
“This is high level golf and drama,” said Mark D. Berman, Tournament Director/Founder and CEO of the ECWPGT, “These players have all competed at the most elite levels of college, amateur and professional tours leading up to the LPGA Tour. Several have played in the US Women’s Open and on their National Teams. Fans will quickly learn the names of these incredible players and get to see them in action up close and personal before they become stars on the LPGA Tour.”
This year’s purse is $60,000 with the winner taking home $15,000, making it one of the biggest purses at this level of the women’s game.
