ABOUT THE DURAMED FUTURES TOUR

Now in its 30th year, the Duramed FUTURES Tour remains committed to preparing rising stars in the women’s game for a career on the LPGA Tour. For the past eight years, the Duramed FUTURES Tour has operated in a licensee role with the LPGA. In recent years, the organizations have worked closely to align practices to assist the members of both tours with professional development. One of the biggest examples of the synergy between the two organizations over the years has been the awarding of coveted LPGA Tour cards to the top money leaders on the Duramed FUTURES Tour. At season’s end each year, the top fi ve players on the Tour’s money list earn automatic LPGA Tour exemptions for the following year.

The Duramed FUTURES Tour has grown into the largest international developmental tour and the world’s second largest women’s golf tour with more than 300 players from 31 nations. Nearly 300 alumnae are LPGA Tour members, with former Duramed FUTURES Tour players owning a total of 314 LPGA Titles and 33 major championships.

The Duramed FUTURES Tour currently conducts 19 tournaments in 14 states with a total purse of over $1.5 million. Since 1989, the Tour has raised more than $4 million for charitable organizations.
