The French Lick Charity Championship was a golf tournament on the Epson Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour, from 2017 to 2023. It was held at French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana.[1]
The tournament was held on the Donald Ross Course, named in honor of the Scottish-born golf course designer Donald Ross, who built the resort's second course in 1917.
The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
With her win in 2021, Casey Danielson took the Symetra Tour money lead and wrapped up an LPGA Tour card for 2022.[3]
Starting in 2022, the event is hosted on the resort's second course, the Pete Dye Course, and contested over 72 holes with a purse of $335,000.[3]
