The 120-player field is set to tee off at Grasslands Golf & Country Club for the inaugural Orlando Health Championship, running Friday, March 20, through Sunday, March 22. As the third event of the 2026 Epson Tour season, it offers players another key opportunity to climb the Race for the Card standings on the official "Road to the LPGA."

Here are the key details to know before the first round:

Addition of Monday Qualifier

The Epson Tour introduced an 18-hole stroke-play local qualifying round (LQR) this year for select events, including the Atlantic Beach Classic presented by Access Golf, the IOA Golf Classic, and now the Orlando Health Championship. Each LQR accommodates up to 36 Epson Tour Professional Members, filled in priority order from the 2026 Epson Tour Priority List as of the commitment deadline.

For the Orlando Health Championship, 20 Epson Tour members competed in Monday's qualifier. Up-and-coming talent Latanna Stone carded an impressive 1-under 71 to earn medalist honors, and Carley Cox Pruette sank a 15-foot birdie putt in a three-way playoff to secure their spots in the main field. The Epson Tour continues to expand opportunities like these, giving more professional golfers a pathway to compete and advance their careers in 2026.

New Event on the Schedule

The Orlando Health Championship marks the third tournament of the young season and the first of two new additions to the 2026 Epson Tour calendar. Played at Grasslands Golf & Country Club in Lakeland, Fla., the event features a competitive 120-player field vying for a $250,000 purse. The champion will claim $37,500 and 500 vital Race for the Card points, bolstering their push toward LPGA Tour membership.

Last Chance for Early-Season Points

This tournament serves as the final event of the season's opening swing to earn points on the Race for the Card leaderboard before a four-week break. Players will look to capitalize on this opportunity to build momentum heading into late April and the rest of the schedule.

The inaugural Orlando Health Championship promises exciting competition at a scenic venue, spotlighting rising stars hungry to make their mark on the Road to the LPGA.
