Inaugural Epson Tour Major Series debuts in Scottsdale, Ariz., Hartford, Conn., and Indian Wells, Calif.

Three new events in Melbourne, Fla., Evansville, Ind., and Frankenmuth, Mich.

Record-breaking prize fund of $5.06 million, the largest in Tour history

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 12, 2026) – The Epson Tour announced today its 2027 schedule featuring 20 events and a total prize fund of $5.06 million, the largest in the Tour’s 47-season history. The Official Qualifying Tour of the LPGA will introduce its first-ever Major Series, welcome three new tournaments and take its athletes to new venues as they compete for 15 LPGA Tour cards.

“The 2027 schedule is a reflection of how far the Epson Tour has come and where we’re headed,” said Jody Brothers, General Manager of the Epson Tour. “With the support of incredible partners, we’re adding new markets, elevating our biggest weeks with the introduction of the Major Series and offering the largest prize fund in our history. Our athletes are chasing their dreams of playing on the LPGA Tour, and this schedule gives them more opportunity and more meaningful stages to get there.”

For the first time in Tour history, three events will carry major designation as part of the Epson Tour Major Series. The series begins with The Carlisle Championship in Scottsdale, Ariz. The Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship presented by Munich Re will celebrate its fifth edition as the second major of the season at the Golf Club of Avon in Avon, Conn., and the Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells will close out both the Major Series and the season on the Indian Wells Golf Resort’s Players Course. All three majors will be contested over 72 holes and feature 30% additional Race for the Card points.

The 2027 calendar adds three new tournaments, beginning with The Constellation Classic at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Fla., from March 11-13. Hosted in partnership with Health First and Space Coast Credit Union, the event joins the Tour’s season-opening Florida swing. In May, the Tour heads to Evansville, Ind., for the Evansville Championship at Evansville Country Club, and in July, the Zehnders Championship will bring the Tour to The Fortress Golf Course in Frankenmuth, Mich.

The Great Lakes Championship will move to Traverse City, Mich., in 2027 under a new name, the Grand Traverse Championship at The Bear, with athletes competing at The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Along with the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship, Island Resort Championship and the new event in Frankenmuth, the move creates a four-week stretch in the Great Lakes State from June 11 to July 3.

Reliance Matrix will expand its partnership with the Epson Tour in 2027, extending its role as a National Opportunity Partner through 2029 and serving as title sponsor of two events. The company has committed to two additional years as title sponsor of the Reliance Matrix Championship, which returns to Spanish Trail Country Club in Las Vegas from April 29-May 1. Reliance Matrix will also serve as title sponsor of the Reliance Matrix Atlantic Beach Classic for the next two years, beginning when the event opens the 2027 season at Atlantic Beach Country Club from March 4-6.

“We are thrilled to expand our relationship and commitment to the incredible athletes and mission of the Epson Tour,” said Chris Fazzini, President and CEO of Reliance Matrix. “Beginning as an Opportunity Partner gave us important insight and appreciation for the challenges these amazing women face. It’s easy to be inspired by their grit and determination.”

In 2027, the Epson Tour will travel to 12 states across the country. The season opens with four events in Florida in March before heading West in April for stops in Arizona, California and Nevada. The Tour then moves into the Midwest and Great Lakes region through the summer, with stops in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Connecticut, before visiting Tennessee and Oregon in August. The season concludes with the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout in Arkansas and the Epson Tour Championship in Indian Wells, Calif. Eight events will feature a Saturday finish.

With the help of the Epson Tour’s committed partners, athletes will compete for $5.06 million in 2027, surpassing the previous Tour record of $5 million set in 2025.

“As we enter our sixth year partnering with the LPGA, we continue to be incredibly proud of what the Epson Tour represents. The talent, determination, and impact these athletes bring both on and off the course inspires us,” said Keith Kratzberg, President and CEO of Epson America, Inc. “We are honored to support their journey and remain committed to creating opportunities for the next generation of women professional golfers.”

The Epson Tour prides itself on preparing talented athletes to compete among the best on the LPGA Tour. In all, over 400 LPGA Tour titles have been won by Epson Tour alumni, including over 50 major championships.
