The Epson Tour has added a “Major Series” to its calendar for the 2027 season. The tour announced that three events – The Carlisle Championship (Scottsdale, Arizona); the Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship (Avon, Connecticut); and the Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells (California) – will make up the series.
Each of the three events will be contested over 72 holes and offer 30 percent additional Race for the Card points. The top-15 players with the most points at season’s end earn LPGA status for the following year.
The tour’s 20-event schedule in 2027 will feature a total prize fund of $5.06 million, the largest in tour history.
There are three new events on the 2027 schedule: the Constellation Classic at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne,
Florida, from March 11-13; the Evansville (Indiana) Championship at Evansville Country Club May 20-22; and the Zehnders Championship at the Fortress Golf Course in Frankenmuth, Michigan, July 1-3.
The tour will spend the entire month of June in Michigan with four stops in Battle Creek, Traverse City, Harris and Frankenmuth. The Great Lakes Championship will move to Traverse City and be held at The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa.
The 2027 Epson Tour season kicks off in Florida from March 4-6 with the Reliance Matrix Atlantic Beach Classic, the first of now four events in the Sunshine State. Reliance Matrix will sponsor two events in 2027 and serve as a National Opportunity Partner through 2029. In addition to Atlantic Beach, the company sponsors the Reliance Matrix Championship, held April 29-May 1, at Spanish Trail Country Club in Las Vegas.
Two events from 2026 have not returned: the Copper Rock Championship in Hurricane, Utah, and the Guardian Championship in Prattville, Alabama. While the Cooper Rock debuted in 2021, the Guardian was first played in 2017 and won by Lindsey Weaver.
