GOFFSTOWN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, August 4, 2014 – The Epson Tour, the Road to the LPGA, continues the northeast swing with the New England Charity Classic presented by PTC from Friday, August 8 through Sunday, August 10 at Stonebridge Country Club.
The top 144 up-and-coming women’s golfers in the world will be competing for their share of the $100,000 total purse. The winner will earn $15,000 and take a significant step towards an LPGA Tour card.
The New England Charity Classic is the 16th event of the season. There are five events remaining and $550,000 still available as players chase a top-10 spot on the Volvik Race for Card money list.
The top-10 players on the money list at the end of the year receive their full-time exempt LPGA Tour cards for the 2015 season.
The Epson Tour has grown from 15 to 20 events since 2013 and the total purse has increased to $2.25 million, the largest in Tour history.
The Epson Tour has been coming to New Hampshire since 2004. The event was previously held at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord.
Last year, P.K. Kongkraphan won the Northeast Delta Dental International in a playoff over Michelle Shin. Kongkraphan finished first on the Volvik Race for the Card money list last year and is playing full-time on the LPGA Tour this year.
There are six players in this week’s field with conditional LPGA Tour status. The six are Brittany Altomare, Lindy Duncan, Jamie Hullett, Maude-Aimee Leblanc, Marta Silva and Jackie Stoelting.
