LPGA Founders Cup seeking volunteers for 2015 tournament

The LPGA Founders Cup is seeking volunteers for the 2015 LPGA Founders Cup, set to be played March 17-22 at Wildfire Golf Club at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa.

There are a variety of areas in which people can volunteer, with committee descriptions and online registration available on the Volunteer page of the tournament website found at www.LPGAFoundersCup.com.

All volunteers will receive a tournament golf shirt, visor or baseball hat, complimentary weekly badge to the tournament, commemorative lapel pin and one free round of golf at Wildfire Golf Club.

“Volunteers are crucial to the success of the tournament, and we can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work behind the scenes,” said Tournament Director Drew Blass. “We have some outstanding volunteers every year at this tournament and without them we couldn’t pull this off.”

For more information about volunteer opportunities contact Tournament Coordinator Taylor Adams at Taylor.Adams@lpga.com or 386.236.1602.

Entering its fifth consecutive year, the LPGA Founders Cup will be played March 17-22, 2015, at Wildfire Golf Club at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa. This full-field, four-day event will be televised live on The Golf Channel all four days and features a $1.5 million purse, with $225,000 going to the champion. Karrie Webb is a two-time Founders Cup champion, winning last year’s tournament as well as the inaugural RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup tournament in 2011. Stacy Lewis took over the World No. 1 title after winning the 2013 RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup, while two-time Rolex Player of the Year winner Yani Tseng captured the title in 2012. The tournament was established to honor the 13 original Founders of the LPGA Tour, as well as to help provide a future for the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program, which has received more than $2 million from tournament proceeds in the last four years.
