The Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour. It debuted in April 2014 at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, California, an adjacent suburb of San Francisco.
Originally designed by Willie Locke, Lake Merced Golf Club opened 94 years ago in July 1923 and was re-designed in 1929 by Alister MacKenzie, architect of the Augusta National Golf Club. Robert Muir Graves re-routed the course in 1960 to accommodate Interstate 280, and the most recent revision was completed by Rees Jones in 1996. Southeast of Lake Merced, the course is in close proximity to San Francisco Golf Club, Olympic Club, and TPC Harding Park.
