DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Nov. 7, 2014 – Play will kick off at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, in the first round of the LPGA Legends Tour’s Walgreens Charity Championship presented by The Seagate Country Club in Delray Beach.
The 36-hole tournament will feature 48 LPGA Tour legends and two amateurs. The professional field will compete for a purse of $250,000, with the winner taking home a prize of $30,000. Nine Hall of Famers will compete this week, including Juli Inkster, Nancy Lopez and South Florida resident Beth Daniel.
A Senior Legends Division within the tournament will be offered for players 63 and over. A low-amateur prize also will be awarded.
LPGA veteran Jean Bartholomew of New York won a spot in the field in Friday’s local qualifier. She carded a round of 2-under 70 to edge out Australia’s Wendy Doolan, who posted a qualifying round of even-par 72.
Tickets at the gate are $15 each day and are available at all Walgreens for $5 off. Kids under 13 accompanied by an adult and military personnel with IDs will be granted free admission at the main gate on tournament days.
Ticket proceeds will support three local charities: The Dan Marino Foundation (DMF), Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF), and Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse (ADVA). The event will also support and raise awareness for Seagate’s charity partner, Habitat for Humanity.
