Yokohama Tire Corp. will return as the title sponsor for the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tournament in Prattville, Ala., for the third year in a row.
The 2016 Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic will be hosted May 5-8 on the Senator Course at Capitol Hill along the Robert Trent Jones (RTJ) Golf Trail. The tournament is traditionally held in late summer, but has been moved to Mother’s Day weekend to allow LPGA golfers to participate in the Rio Summer Olympics. At this time, almost half of the potential women’s golf Olympians will participate in the 2016 Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic.
Proceeds from the tournament will again benefit, KaBOOM!, a children’s nonprofit organization, to help build a new playground.
