Golf tournament excitement started in May with the Women's and Men's NCAA Division 1 Championships at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois. We cheered for our favorite college teams and witnessed Arizona State capture the Women's NCAA Division 1 Championship, and the ongoing excitement as Oklahoma University dominated Oregon to win the Men's NCAA Division 1 Championship.

The season is just getting started with four fabulous professional golf tournaments in the Chicagoland area and just outside of it. The month of June kicks into full gear with some of the best professional golf has to offer, including Web.com Tour's Rust-Oleum Championship at Ivanhoe Club in Ivanhoe, IL; LPGA Symetra Tour's Four Winds Invitational at Blackthorn Golf Club in South Bend, IN; the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills in Erin, WI; and closing out June going into July is KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia Fields, IL.

Blackthorn Golf Club located in South Bend, IN is home to the 6th year return of the LPGA Symetra Tour's Four Winds Invitational on June 5 - June 11, 2017. The sixth annual tournament will feature a field of professional women golfers from around the world competing on the Symetra® Tour - Road to the LPGA®. The tournament will include 144 golfers who will be playing for a $150,000 purse.

"We are proud to bring back the Four Winds Invitational to South Bend for a sixth straight year. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians has lived in this region for hundreds of years and this is just one of many ways in which we continually reinvest in the community that has always been our home," said John P. Warren, Chairman of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. "We have a great partnership with the Symetra Tour and thank all the volunteers in the community who have made the tournament such a success."

During the week of June 12-18, 2017, the U.S. Open Championship will be contested in Wisconsin for the first time. The championship will welcome the world's top players vying for the title that has been contested since 1895. The United States Golf Association will provide the ultimate, most comprehensive test in golf to identify the best of the best, with past champions including Bob Jones, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Wisconsin's own Andy North and Tiger Woods.

Come out and cheer 2016 Champion, Brooke Henderson, on for a back-to-back win or your favorite LPGA TOUR player at the upcoming KPMG Women's PGA Championship! The excitement continues to mount, as this event will be contested in just a few short weeks! The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is a partnership between the PGA of America, KPMG and the LPGA Tour, as it comes to Chicago for the first time in the Championship's long and storied history. Broadcast in partnership with NBC and Golf Channel, the Championship offers a purse among the highest in women's golf. The event combines an annual major golf championship with the KPMG Women's Leadership Summit and an ongoing charitable initiative called the KPMG Future Leaders Program - all focused on the development, advancement, and empowerment of women on and off the golf course. Olympia Fields Country Club located in Olympia Fields, IL will host this exciting event on June 27 through July 2. A variety of ticket options are still available for purchase.
