Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic Winners and History

yokohama tire lpga classicFirst played in 2009, the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic is held on the Senator Course at the Capitol Hill location of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama.

The tournament’s original sponsor was Navistar International, a truck manufacturer. When Navistar failed to renew its sponsorship, the tournament was taken off the schedule for 2013.

Yokohama Tire assumed title sponsorship in 2014.

When Lexi Thompson won in 2011 at age 16, she was at the time the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA event. Lydia Ko bested that a year later when she won the 2012 Canadian Women’s Open at age fifteen.

The tournament scoring record was set in 2010 by Katherine Hull at 269 (-19).
