The LPGA Tour hasn’t been in Michigan since the Oldsmobile Classic was played in 2000 in East Lansing.
Meijer is a Michigan-based chain that started as a grocery store in the 1930s. The tournament is to coincide with the retailer’s “Simply Give” program, which has generated $6.5 million for food pantries in the region.
