Loudon, Tenn – Starting on July 20, the Women’s Trans National Golf Association (WTNGA) will hold its 79^th Amateur Championship at Tennessee National, in Loudon, Tenn.

More than half of the fifty US states will be represented as well as Australia, Canada, Philippines and Singapore.

The event will have a collegiate feel with a majority of the field representing their respective schools. This includes Cheyenne Woods, a rising sophomore at Wake Forest University and the niece of the world’s current top-ranked golfer, Tiger Woods. A number of athletes from the Pac-10 and SEC, two of the stronger collegiate golf conferences will be participating, including three golfers from the University of Tennessee.

A great deal of local and statewide talent will be participating, with more than 30 golfers from the state of Tennessee set to tee off.

“The game of golf is a competitive sport that challenges the player to be on the top of their game,” said Tennessee National golf course designer Greg Norman. “I’m sure these ladies will find the course at Tennessee National competitive and challenging as well as beautiful. I wish them luck for their upcoming event”.

Previous champions and/or competitors of this event have included Nancy Lopez, Lorena Ochoa, Grace Park, and Babe Didrikson Zaharias, among many others.
