Of the 37 competitors in the field, eight competitors list their residency in Massachusetts, including amateurs Jennifer Keim (South Yarmouth), Angela Garvin (Feeding Hills), Rebecca Skoler (Needham), Gabrielle Shieh (Carlisle) and Alison Paik (Sharon) as well as professionals Jacquelyn Eleey (Quincy), Alison Walshe (Cambridge) and Camden Morrison (Millis).
With one qualifying spot up for grabs, the lowest scorer will join fellow Bay Staters Shannon Johnson, the reigning U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champions, and LPGA players Megan Khang and Brittany Altomare – all of whom are exempt into the 2019 U.S. Women’s Open field!
Competitors will play on the same course that has previously hosted a professional tournament each Labor Day Weekend since 2003. From 2003-2006, TPC Boston played host to the Deutsche Bank Championship and from 2007-2016, the Deutsche Bank Championship became part of the FedEx Cup Playoff Cup. In both 2017 and 2018, the name of the championship was changed to the Dell Technologies Championship. With the change of the PGA Championship Playoffs from four events to three events, the Northern Trust Championship will return to TPC Boston in 2020.
