We are adding the Annika Women’s All Pro Tour and expanding the event to include Weaver Ridge GC in addition to Metamora Fields to accommodate the larger field. This is a great opportunity to come out and see professional golf in central Illinois and to support a great cause. All proceeds from the event will go to support the Children’s Hospital of Illinois.” Said Kevin Brinkman, General Manager of Metamora Fields Golf Club and Weaver Ridge Golf Club.

We could not be more excited to bring this unique event to the Peoria area at two exceptional golf courses. Metamora Fields and WeaverRidge are both very different tracks that are challenging in their own ways that will test our player’s course management and endurance. Along with the courses, we are honored to partner with the OSF Healthcare Children’s Hospital of Illinois for the second year in a row and help raise money for the hospital’s foundation.
