The Eagle Classic is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the FUTURES Tour, the official developmental tour of the LPGA. The event has been played since 2008 in the Richmond, Virginia area.
In 2009 the title sponsor was iMPACT Ventures, a consulting firm that focuses on technology solutions and strategies, based in Fairfax, Virginia. In 2010, the tournament was held without a title sponsor. In 2011, Eagle Companies signed a three-year contract to become the tournament's title sponsor. Eagle had previously been involved as the presenting sponsor of the tournament.[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 current benefiting charity of the Eagle Classic is the Massey Cancer Center.
