ING New England Golf Classic

ING New England Golf Classic

The ING New England Golf Classic is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Duramed FUTURES Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. The event has been played since 1999 in the Hartford, Connecticut area.

Prior to 2009, the tournament had various title sponsors, most recently CIGNA, a health service company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 2009 season opened with the tournament lacking a title sponsor. In mid-June 2009 it was announced that ING, a global financial institution, would become the new title sponsor.[1]

The Tournament is a 54-hole event, as are most FUTURES 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 benefiting charity from the New England Golf Classic is Chip in for a Cure, a Connecticut-based breast cancer charity.

Tournament names through the years:

  • 1999: SNET Women's Classic
  • 2000: Connecticut FUTURES Golf Classic
  • 2001-2003: Lincoln Financial FUTURES Golf Classic
  • 2004: GMAC FUTURES Golf Classic
