Chick-Fil-A Charity Championship (Former LPGA Tournament)

The Chick-fil-A Charity Championship was a golf tournament on the LPGA Tour, played in Georgia from the early 1990s until 2006.

First played: 1992

Last played: 2006

The tournament started as a 72-hole event before switching to 54 holes in its third year. But it eventually went back to four rounds for the last three times it was played. The tournament was hosted by Nancy Lopez, and she won it in 1997. That was Lopez's 48th win on the LPGA Tour and, it turned out, her last.

Annika Sorenstam was the event's only 2-time winner. Sorenstam's winning 265 in 2005 was the tournament's best 72-hole score. The 54-hole scoring record of 200 was set by Se Ri Pak in 2003. The event's 18-hole record was 62, recorded by Barb Mucha in 1999.

Sherri Turner made double-eagles during this tournament twice, becoming the second player in LPGA history to score two albatrosses. It first happened for Turner in 1993, then again in 1998, both times on the on the par-5, 18th hole.
