Legends of the LPGA return in June for third annual Woodford Legends Invitational
Many of the biggest names in the history of the LPGA will travel to Central Kentucky at the start of June for the third annual Woodford Legends Invitational.
Hosted at the Woodford Club in Versailles, the Woodford Legends Invitational tournament will again bring together LPGA icons and top in-state amateurs for a unique, two-player team event. From Tuesday, June 3 to Sunday, June 8, a slate of festivities celebrating the past, present and future of women’s golf will take place, and finish with the main tournament June 7-8.
Reigning victors Catriona Matthew (Scotland) and Becky Morgan (South Wales) headline the star-studded list of golfers from the Legends of the LPGA, the official senior tour of the LPGA. The Woodford Legends Invitational is the second stop on the 2025 Legends schedule of tournaments and experiences, following the 2025 LPGA Legends Championship, May 19-24 at the Copper Rock Golf Club in St. George, Utah.
Among others set to compete are 2024 U.S. Senior Women’s Open Champion Leta Lindley and former LPGA commentator Suzy Whaley, and Legends Hall of Famer and former University of Kentucky golfer Nancy Scranton and former Furman University standout Ashli Bunch.
Lindley said “it was an honor” to be a part of the 2024 Woodford Legends Invitational field, and called it a great opportunity to prepare for this year’s U.S. Senior Women’s Open.
“Certainly, it’s an excellent field, and I was very excited to be a part of it, and to be able to team up with Suzy Whaley,” Lindley said. “For me, anything that can get me ready for the U.S. Senior Women’s Open, so competitive reps are really important. There’s no substitution for that. So I can’t think of a better place to get the summer started than here at the Woodford Club.”
The Legends of the LPGA, now in its 20th year, provides continued competitive opportunities for golfers 45 and over to extend their golf careers and bring together greats from across the history of the LPGA.
“I especially loved seeing the young women competing in both the pro-am and the tournament alongside the Legends,” Lindley said. “Having the opportunity to mentor young women sets the Woodford Invitational apart from other events and really embodies the spirit and mission of the Legends of the LPGA Tour, to inspire the next generation.”
Admission to the tournament can be purchased online for $15 per day, or $20 for a two-day pass. Daily passes can be bought for $20 at the gate. Entry is free for spectators 17 and younger. Tickets are available on The Woodford Club Foundation website.
