LPGA Corning Classic Golf Tournament

The LPGA Corning Classic was a golf tournament that had a 30-year run on the LPGA Tour, from the late 1970s until discontinuing just prior to 2010. The tournament was played in Corning, New York.

Penny Pulz was the first champion and Yani Tseng the last. In-between, many of the tour's stop stars won the tournament, but there were suprisingly few multiple winners. Betsy King won it twice, and Rosie Jones had back-to-back victories.

First played: 1979

Last played: 2009

Also known as: Always called the Corning Classic, given that was the name both of the host course and the host city.
