MESA, Ariz. — The Symetra Tour announced today that Longbow Golf Club will host the inaugural Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic from March 18-21 to open the 2021 Symetra Tour season.

“We are proud to welcome Carlisle to the LPGA Tour family and are excited to open the 41st season of the Symetra Tour near their headquarters in Arizona,” said Mike Nichols, the Chief Business Officer of LPGA Qualifying Tours. “It is especially rewarding that a company of Carlisle’s stature has chosen to support these female athletes chasing their dreams.”

A full field of competitors will battle for a total purse of $200,000. Individuals are set to compete in a 72-hole stroke play format with a cut to the low 60 players and ties after 36 holes. The winner’s share for the event is $30,000.

Pine straw is prevalent on the majority of holes at TPC Sawgrass and often causes trouble for players competing at THE PLAYERS Championship. The best players in the world have often pulled off the impossible, however, leading to some of the most memorable shots in tournament history.
