Epson Tour Championship Tees Off at Indian Wells
The Epson Tour Championship officially got underway this morning at Indian Wells Golf Resort, marking the final stop of the 2025 Epson Tour season. Tee times began bright and early at 7 a.m., with players competing not only for the tournament title but also for coveted LPGA Tour cards for the 2026 season.
As the Epson Tour’s season finale, the stakes could not be higher. Only the top 15 finishers in the season-long rankings will graduate to the LPGA, making every swing this week critical. Among the competitors drawing local attention is Riverside County native Amari Avery. Currently ranked 16th, Avery is just outside the cutoff line, meaning her performance this weekend could determine whether she secures her LPGA card.
The championship will continue through Sunday, with fans able to follow the action both on-site and through NBC Palm Springs’ coverage. Sports reporter Caitlyn Kelley will be reporting from the course all weekend, providing updates, highlights, and player interviews.
Golf enthusiasts interested in attending can find ticket information on the newsroom tab of NBCPalmSprings.com. With a mix of rising stars and seasoned contenders battling for their LPGA dreams, the Epson Tour Championship promises an exciting conclusion to the season at Indian Wells.
