Sultan’s Run will host the sixth playing of the Senior LPGA Championship. It was the first major championship for senior women and was held at French Lick in 2017-2021. It was moved to Salina, Kansas last year, but returns to Southern Indiana this year.
The 2023 tournament will take place over three days, from June 29 to July 1. Players will compete for $400,000 with no cut being made during the week. Sultan’s Run Golf Club opened in 1992 and went through a redesign by Pete Dye disciple, Tim Liddy in 1996.
The Senior LPGA Championship is a stop on the Legends Tour, the official senior tour of the LPGA. The women on the Legends tour have combined for 750 LPGA Tour victories, including 84 major championships and includes 15 LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame players. Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb, Julie Inkster, Beth Daniels and Laura Davies are expected to be in the field.
“Sultan’s Run is thrilled to be counted among 250 of more than 15,000 golf courses nationwide who have the distinction of hosting a professional golf tournament,” said Chris Tretter, Co-Owner of Sultan’s Run Golf Club. “We appreciate the Tour’s trust in our quality and capability. We look forward to showcasing our community, our premium course and our hospitality to players and spectators from far and near.”
Two World Golf Hall of Famers, Annika Sorenstam and Karrie Webb battled for the title last year with Webb coming out on top. The pair talked highly of their experience competing against other Legends of the LPGA.
“Playing in the 2022 LPGA Senior Championship was a great week from start to finish. Catching up with players and friends that I hadn’t seen for a while was special,” said Webb. “Obviously winning was exciting and icing on the cake. Going head-to-head with Annika over the weekend was a blast from the past. It was a great feeling to be back in a position to win, with all the nerves and adrenaline flowing, to then be able to play well enough when it counted. I look forward to defending my title this year at Sultan’s Run Golf Course in Indiana.”
Sultan’s Run is an award-winning, course located in Jasper, Indiana. Now in its 31st year of operation, Sultan’s Run was built on land purchased from Ruxer Farms, where legendary World Champion American Saddlebred Supreme Sultan roamed. Each of the holes at Sultan’s Run is named for one of Supreme Sultan’s World Champion offspring, except hole 18 which is named after the legend himself. This beautiful hole, which features a waterfall on a natural stone outcropping, is widely known as the “most dramatic signature hole in Indiana.”
You too can play where the pros play, standard and premium stay-and-play packages are available with local courses, or with historic French Lick Resort, located just 30 minutes away.
