New Melbourne, Fla., event joins the Epson Tour's Florida swing, with support from Health First and Space Coast Credit Union

MELBOURNE, Fla. (Nov. 11, 2026) – The Epson Tour, the Official Qualifying Tour of the LPGA, today announced The Constellation Classic, a new tournament to be played March 11-13, 2027, at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Fla. With the addition, the Tour will open its 2027 season with four consecutive weeks of competition across the Sunshine State, giving players a month-long run in Florida to build early momentum in the race for LPGA Tour cards.

The event is a partnership between the Epson Tour, Suntree Country Club, Health First and Space Coast Credit Union. Leaders from all four organizations celebrated the announcement today at Suntree Country Club.

"The Florida swing sets the tone for our entire season, and The Constellation Classic makes that stretch stronger than ever. Suntree Country Club has hosted some of the game's greats, and we're proud to bring professional golf back to its fairways,” said Jody Brothers, General Manager, Epson Tour. “What makes this event special is the partnership behind it. Health First and Space Coast Credit Union share our belief that a tournament week should make an impact well beyond the ropes. Our players are chasing their dreams of the LPGA Tour, and we can't think of a better place for them to take that next step than a community known for launching dreams of its own.”

The 54-hole championship will finish on Saturday, March 13. Tournament week opens Monday, March 8, with unofficial practice rounds and a Monday qualifier. Official practice rounds follow on Tuesday, capped by a pro-am party at the club that evening. The pro-am is Wednesday, and championship rounds run Thursday through Saturday.

For the second straight season, every event on the Florida swing will host a Monday qualifier, with the top two finishers earning a spot in that week's field. The qualifiers give Epson Tour athletes without full status four chances in four weeks to play their way into the Tour's opening events and get their seasons started earlier than anticipated.

“Shortly after its founding, Suntree Country Club became one of the inaugural stops on the Senior PGA tour, proudly hosting that event for a decade through 1990. When the opportunity presented itself to bring professional golf back to Brevard County, our club jumped at it,” said Dr. Scott R. Miller, President of Suntree Country Club. “Suntree has a membership that is passionate about golf and proud of our club and golf courses. Partnering with the Epson Tour, Health First Foundation and Space Coast Credit Union provide an exciting opportunity to showcase Suntree Country Club and Florida’s Space Coast, while supporting the next generation of women’s professional golf. We look forward to welcoming these exceptional athletes to Suntree and introducing a new generation of professional golfers to our community.”

Beyond the competition, the week will feature community programming shaped by the event's partners. Health First will lead health and wellness initiatives, and Space Coast Credit Union will focus on connecting with local business owners and the broader community. Details will be announced in the coming months.

"As Brevard County continues to grow and thrive, Health First is proud to support events that bring people together around health, wellness and community,” said Terry Forde, Health First President and CEO. “The Constellation Classic represents more than world-class competition. It reflects the active, vibrant lifestyle that makes the Space Coast such a special place to live, work and raise a family. We are honored to help create an event that will inspire future generations, strengthen community connections, and contribute to the continued growth of our region.”

“The continued growth of women’s professional sports is always exciting to see, and we’re proud to help bring The Constellation Classic to Brevard County,” said Shane Hoyle, President and CEO, Space Coast Credit Union. “A week like this brings visitors, energy and business to our community, and we want our local business owners and neighbors to have the opportunity to be a big part of that."

Information on pro-am opportunities, volunteering, hospitality and tickets will be available as the event approaches.
