iMPACT Invitational Coming to Daytona Beach

The iMPACT Invitational Golf Tournament, a benefit for the American Lung Assn. of Florida, will be held at the LPGA International, Legends Course, April 3-5, 2009. Purse will be $100,000, and winner $14,000. For information, visit iMPACT Enterprises Invitational.

Women's professional golf has surged in popularity and this event promises to showcase the next wave of young stars. Long-term rivalries to be played out on the LPGA Tour over the next few decades will begin here on the Duramed FUTURES Tour. The players you watch during the week come from as many as 24 countries around the world, and begin the season with great credentials and previous success in amateur and collegiate golf.

As the LPGA’s developmental tour, the Duramed FUTURES Tour has graduated more than 300 players to the LPGA Tour. Many of these professionals have become the world's top-ranked players. This year's event offers you the chance to watch players who most likely will move on to the LPGA Tour. Mexico's Lorena Ochoa was the 2002 Player of the Year on the Duramed FUTURES Tour, became the LPGA's top rookie in 2003, then went on to earn honors in 2006, 2007 and 2008 as the LPGA's Rolex Player of the Year. Tour alum Angela Park was the LPGA’s top rookie in 2007. Inbee Park won the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open Championship. This year 31 Duramed FUTURES Tour alumnae will join the LPGA after earning membership based on their performances in 2008.
