CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Fresh off their first NCAA Championship appearance, the Illinois women's golf program is pleased to announce the fifth annual Illinois Women's Golf Classic will be held on Monday, August 26, at the Lincolnshire Fields Country Club in Champaign, Ill. All proceeds from the event will benefit the University of Illinois women's golf team.
"We are excited for the fifth edition of the Illinois Women's Golf Classic," said head coach Renee Slone. "A big thank you to Lincolnshire Fields Country Club and Rob Walls for hosting the event again. The Classic has become our kickoff event to the season and is such a fun day for everyone involved. It has steadily grown every year and we look to continue that trend in 2019."
An entry fee of $225 per person includes entry for one into the tournament, lunch, dinner, an exclusive Illini tournament gift, tournament prizes, and much more.
