LPGA Kia Classic Returns for Seventh Year

Mar 24, 2016

The family-friendly tournament, LPGA Kia Classic kicks off today at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, California for the seventh consecutive year. Here, 144 players from around the world will compete for $1.7 million and a new Kia K900 luxury sedan as they are transported around in Kia vehicles on the challenging par-72 course. Cristie Kerr, last year’s defending champ, will look to defend her title.

This tournament will also offer plenty of fun activities for golf fans of any age, like scavenger hunts and player autographs sessions. Not to mention, admission is free for active military and their families and children under 17! A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to Kia’s new philanthropic partner, Hire Heroes USA, a non-profit organization that helps veterans transition to the civilian workplace.

You can check out the coverage on the Golf Channel from March 24-27.
