This event has helped launch countless LPGA Tour careers, including 2024 winner Fatima Fernandez Cano, who earned her LPGA Tour card after the Spaniard defeated Ingrid Lindblad by one stroke. Both are now in the midst of their LPGA Tour rookie seasons. The tournament will be played from September 12-14 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capitol Hill – Senator Course, one of three top-tier public courses available on-site.
