The Standard Portland Classic is a women's professional golf tournament inOregon on theLPGA Tour. Founded 53 years ago in 1972, the annual event in thePortland area is the oldest continuous event on the LPGA Tour.Tournament Golf Foundation has owned the tournament since its beginning and also managed theSafeway International tournament on the LPGA Tour. It became a 72-hole event in2013, after decades at 54 holes.
Proceeds from the tournament are donated to local children's charities; over $19 million has been donated since 1972.[1] The tournament has had a variety of sponsors during its history.
The event began as thePortland Ladies Classic in 1972, played at thePortland Golf Club (PGC) inRaleigh Hills for its first two editions. It moved to the Columbia Edgewater Country Club, west of theairport, then returned to PGC in1975. From 1977 to 1982, the tournament was a team event and its prize money was unofficial. It returned to Columbia Edgewater in 1977, then went to the adjacent Riverside Golf & Country Club in 1980. The three courses rotated as hosts for the tournament until1990, when Columbia Edgewater became the site for the next 18 editions. In1978,Ping became a title sponsor. From 1986 to 1995,Cellular One andAT&T Wireless Services also were title sponsors, and in 1996 Safeway took over as the sole title sponsor. The event was moved up on the schedule in2005, from September to August, and the purse reached $1.7 million in2007.
In2009, the tournament moved to thePumpkin Ridge Golf Club nearNorth Plains, and drew a tournament record crowd of 87,800 at the Ghost Creek Course.[2] In 2009 and2010, the course par was increased to 72 for the tournament, as the ninth hole was modified to a par-5; the result was three consecutive reachable par-5's (8,9, & 10) which slowed the pace of play. In2011, the eighth hole was lengthened and the ninth was returned to a par-4, resulting in a par-71 course (same as public play).[3] The ninth hole was returned to a par-5 in2012 for a par-72 layout.
In2013, the tournament moved back to the Columbia Edgewater in Portland and expanded to 72 holes, with a reduced purse of $1.3 million. Safeway dropped its sponsorship after 2013, and Portland-basedCambia Health Solutions became the presenting sponsor.[4]
In2015, 17-year-oldBrooke HendersonMonday-qualified and won the event by eight shots, the largest victory margin on tour since2012, and became the tour's third-youngest winner.[5] She was only the second Monday qualifier to win on tour[5] and the first in fifteen years, sinceLaurel Kean in2000.[6] Henderson was also the firstCanadian to win on the LPGA Tour in fourteen years, sinceLorie Kane in2001,[5][6] and was granted immediate tour membership.[7]
In2017,Stacy Lewis, a native ofHouston, Texas pledged her winnings to relief efforts forHurricane Harvey pre-tournament. Lewis went on to win the event donating her entire $195,000 purse to hurricane relief efforts.[8]
The 2020 tournament was reduced to 54-holes due to poor air quality caused bywildfires.[9]
The 2021 tournament moved toOregon Golf Club inWest Linn, Oregon. It was reduced to 54 holes due to rain and course conditions.[10]
In 2022, the tournament moved back to Columbia Edgewater Country Club
