56th SUMITOMO LIFE Vitality Ladies TOKAI CLASSIC

The 56th SUMITOMO LIFE Vitality Ladies TOKAI CLASSIC is organized by the Ladies Professional Golfers' Association of Japan (JLPGA). The tournament is contested over three rounds of stroke play, typically with a field of about 90-100 professional female golfers. Players qualify primarily based on their JLPGA Tour money list standings and through sponsor exemptions. The tournament is held at the Shin Minami Aichi Country Club Mihama Course in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, with a prize purse around ¥100,000,000, and the winner receives approximately ¥18,000,000. Qualification to play on the JLPGA Tour, and thus in this tournament, is obtained through a multi-stage JLPGA Player Certification Test involving stroke play stages, Rolex rankings, and other exemptions, allowing top amateurs and professionals to qualify.
