The 2019 Four Winds Invitational will be held from Friday, June 7 through Sunday, June 9 at Blackthorn Golf Club.

The eighth annual tournament will feature a field of professional women golfers from around the world competing on the Symetra Tour. The 2019 tournament will include 144 golfers who will play for a $150,000 purse.

“We are proud to bring back the Four Winds Invitational to South Bend for the eighth straight year,” said Matt Wesaw, Chairman of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. “The Symetra Tour is an outstanding pathway that grooms some of the best golfers in the world. On a local level, we’ve watched it grow and become an important regional summer event that raises a lot of money for life changing equipment for Beacon Health System—over $545,000 in seven years.”

In addition to the money donated to Beacon, over $1 million in prize money has been awarded to athletes playing in the tournament. Entering the eighth year of tournament competition, a handful of current LPGA Tour stars have passed through South Bend on their way to the biggest stage in women’s professional golf.
