The Dow Championship is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour that is played in Michigan. A new event in 2019, it is held at Midland Country Club in Midland, Michigan.[1] It is a team event, similar to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA Tour,[2] with alternate shot (foursome) in the first and third rounds and better ball (fourball) for the second and fourth rounds.[3] Dow Chemical Company is the title sponsor.[1]
The 2020 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] For the 2021 edition, the purse was increased to $2.3 million, with the first-place team splitting $559,000.
For 2022, the purse was increased to $2.5 million, with the first-place team splitting $603,172.[5][6]
In 2023, the 70 two-woman teams are set featuring foursomes and fourballs in alternating days, including a 36-hole cut, to determine the winning team.[7] The purse was increased to $2.7 million, with the first-place team splitting $656,230.[8]
