Bright House Networks Open

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bright House Networks Open 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 1998. From 1998 through 2003 it was played at The Club at Eaglebrooke. Since 2004 it has been played at Cleveland Heights Golf Course. Both courses are located in Lakeland, Florida.

The title sponsor since 2008 is Bright House Networks, a cable television and digital services provider with headquarters in Syracuse, New York.

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. Benefitting charities from the Bright House Networks Open include the The First Tee of Lakeland.
