El Paso Golf Classic

El Paso Golf Classic

The El Paso Golf Classic is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the FUTURES Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. The event has been a part of the FUTURES Tour's schedule since 2002. It takes place at the Underwood Golf Complex in El Paso, Texas.

The Tournament is a 54-hole event, as are most FUTURES Tour tournaments, and includes a pre-tournament pro-am event, in which local amateur golfers can play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities. The benefiting charity for the El Paso Golf Classic is the Rotary Club of West El Paso Foundation.

From 2003 through 2006 the tournament was known as the IOS Golf Classic, with the name sponsorship held by International Outsourcing Services, or IOS, an El-Paso based data services company and the largest coupon clearinghouse for grocery store retailers' and manufacturers' coupons in the United States. On March 8, 2007, 11 persons associated with IOS, including its president and chief operating officer, were indicted on wire-fraud charges and with carrying out a scheme to defraud manufacturers that use coupons to market their products to consumers. cite web
