Competitive play, family fun and community spirit are in store at the annual tournament.
In partnership with the LPGA, The Standard announced last year a three-year sponsorship of the Portland Classic, the longest-running LPGA non-major tournament. Now called The Standard Portland Classic, this year’s tournament is being hosted Aug. 14 – 17 at the historic Columbia Edgewater Country Club.
Along with showcasing world-class competition from the LPGA’s top golfers, the event features a celebration of community and family-friendly entertainment.
“The Classic is more than a golf tournament — it’s a celebration of excellence, perseverance and community,” said Amy Malagamba, vice president of Corporate Marketing at The Standard. “We’re honored to support an event that not only showcases elite athletes but also uplifts our city and inspires future generations.”
In addition to the 72-hole tournament featuring many of the LPGA’s most exciting stars, fans can look forward to:
- Les Schwab Tires Par 3 Girls Tournament (Aug. 16) — LPGA professionals mentor junior golfers
- Entertainment and food vendors — includes Portland’s own The Sports Bra featuring a pop-up bar on hole 15 for prime golf viewing
- Interactive fan zones — Umpqua Family Fun Zone, giveaways, community engagement activities and more
- Special combo passes — access to both The Standard Portland Classic and the Portland Thorns versus Seattle Reign soccer match
- Charitable beneficiary for the tournament is First Tee – Oregon
