Symetra Classic

The Symetra Classic is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA Tour's developmental tour. From 2009 to 2011, the tournament was played at The Dominion Country Club in San Antonio, Texas. The event moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2012 and was played at Raintree Country Club. It moved to Milton, Georgia in 2017 and was played at Atlanta National Golf Club. In 2018, it moved to River Run Country Club in Davidson, North Carolina.

The tournament is a 54-hole event, as are most Symetra Tour tournaments, and includes pre-tournament pro-am opportunities, in which local amateur golfers can play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities. The title sponsor of the tournament is Symetra Financial Corporation, a life insurance corporation with headquarters in Bellevue, Washington.[1]
