ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT
The tournament is 72 holes over four days from July 13-16. This year's purse is $1.75 million.
Garnering multiple names over it's history, the LPGA has held a tournament at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania every year since 1984, with the exception of two years.
One main pillar of the Dana Open every year is that all net proceeds are donated to charity. This year, 19 northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan non-profit organizations will benefit.
Tournament Director Judd Silverman said the event has raised about $13.7 million for area charities over the course of 38 years, and that they are hoping to take that number over $14 million for this year's event.
