As we approach the July 4th holiday, it’s time for us to celebrate our independence and get together with family and friends for a round or two of golf. Take time to relax, have fun and remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Also, July is a great month to take in a tournament or two and walk with the future stars of golf! Check out these upcoming events and get your tickets now!

In just over a month, the future stars of golf will return to The Glen Club for the NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank on July 27-30. In just four years this tournament has become one of the most exciting on the Korn Ferry Tour. Past champions – including Cameron Young, Harry Hall and, of course, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler – are among the brightest young stars on the PGA TOUR.

NEW FOR 2023 - the Korn Ferry Tour recently announced that Barstool Sports will live stream the championship. All four rounds will stream live on Barstool.TV from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with popular Barstool personalities making appearances throughout the broadcast and on-site at the championship.

Tickets to the championship are now on sale. For those looking for an upgraded experience, join us in The Hangar presented by Corona Premier, as you watch the future stars of the PGA TOUR from the comfort of a hospitality venue located directly behind the 18th green. Tickets are $185 per person and include lunch, afternoon hors d’oeuvres, and full premium bar. 

Over 300 volunteers are needed to help make this NV5 Invitational a success. Go inside the ropes at The Glen Club to become an integral part of the championship and see the next wave of PGA TOUR stars up close. 

All proceeds from the event benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation and its mission of sending youth caddies to college.

The Epson Tour, Official Qualifying Tour Of The LPGA, returns for the 2nd year to the premier French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana. The 72-hole French Lick Resort Charity Classic event will again be contested on The Pete Dye Course on August 1-6, 2023 and will feature a prize pool of $335,000, the largest purse in the Epson Tour’s 42-year history. The only other Epson Tour event to offer this purse size in 2023 will be the Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic. 

For years, French Lick Resort has hosted the Epson Tour on the historic Donald Ross Course. It previously hosted the LPGA Championship in 1959 and 1960, and recently crowned Patty Tavatanakit (Chevron Championship winner) as the Donald Ross Classic winner in 2019, and Casey Danielson who won the 2021 Donald Ross Classic at French Lick Resort to secure her LPGA Tour card for 2022. 

Xiaowen Yin was the 2022 Epson Tour Champion of the French Lick Resort Charity Classic that was contested on The Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort for its inaugural debut!
