The organizing committee of the Futures Tour presented the player field that will participate at the Riviera Nayarit Classic. The tournament will be played in this destination on April 4 to 10 at the El Tigre Golf & Country Club at Paradise Village, Nuevo Vallarta.
Five Mexican contenders will play as locals, and the tournament will see the return of last year’s winner Cindy LaCrosse. Sophia Sheridan from Guadalajara and Lili Alvarez from Durango are currently in the 28 and 62 places respectively, and will head the group of national players, which also includes Pamela Ontiveros, Marcela Leon and Tanya Dergal.
The Riviera Nayarit Classic will offer over 125,000 USD in prizes for professional golfers who seek to gain a ticket to the LPGA Tour, and the earnings from this tournament will be destined to the Lorena Ochoa Foundation.
El Tigre Golf & Country Club is the only course outside the United States that has hosted this tour, which is considered an entry to the LPGA, and this year once again has six Mexican contenders.
