FORT MYERS, FLORIDA – The Epson Tour, the Road to the LPGA, transitions from Sarasota to Fort Myers this week for the inaugural Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial at Cypress Lake Country Club from May 2-4.

The 54-hole stroke play format will feature the top 144 up-and-coming women’s golfers in the world.

The field will be vying for their share of the $100,000 purse. The winner will earn $15,000 and take a significant step towards an LPGA Tour card for the 2015 season.

The top-10 finishers on the end-of-year Volvik Race for the Card money list receive LPGA Tour membership for the 2015 season.

There will be a cut made on Saturday after the second round. The top 70 players (plus ties) will play in the final round.

The Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial is the sixth event on the Epson Tour schedule and the final event in the state of Florida until the Epson Tour Championship presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University from September 18-21.

The Epson Tour features 20 events this year, the most in 13 years. In addition, the total year-long purse of $2.25 million is the highest in Tour history.

The event this week is the second in a string of five consecutive events. The Epson Tour will play nine of the next ten weeks.

The proceeds from the Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial will benefit the American Cancer Society to support ovarian cancer research.24:[]
