Professional Golf is swinging through Central Illinois the next two weeks
“The Annika Tour arrived today in Central Illinois as the Redbird Championship at Weibring Golf Course begins tomorrow morning. The tour, which is for players who just graduated or recently graduated from college, is the primary way to making it onto the 2nd-level Epson Tour, which is the primary pipeline to making it onto the top-level LPGA Tour.
The Redbird Championship will last through Thursday, before next week’s OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois Golf Championship at Weaver Ridge and Metamora Fields Golf Courses. That tournament will also feature the Men’s All-Pro Tour, which is also the primary developmental pipeline for the Korn Ferry Tour and then the PGA Tour.”
