Legends of the LPGA and Resorts World Announce the 2025 Golf Weekend at Resorts World Catskills this June
First Pro Golf Tournament at Re-imagined Monster, Tee Off with Local First Responders
The Legends of the LPGA and Resorts World Catskills proudly present the 2025 Legends of the LPGA Weekend sponsored by Resorts World New York City, taking place June 26–28, 2025, at the iconic Resorts World Catskills Monster Golf Club in Monticello, NY.
This highly anticipated three-day event will bring together LPGA Hall of Famers and Amateur Players for an unforgettable Tournament. The weekend’s festivities will also see these legends of the green pair up with first responders who serve Sullivan County and the surrounding region, honoring their commitment to keeping these communities safe.
“This will be one of the premier events of the 2025 Legends of LPGA Tour,” said Cathy Harbin, Legends of LPGA representative. “The Monster Golf Club’s legendary course and the Catskills’ summer atmosphere make this the perfect setting for an event that’s as impactful as it is exciting.”
“Resorts World Catskills is excited to welcome the first Professional Golf Tournament to the Catskills since the 1960s,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East. “We are honored to partner with Legends of the LPGA to bring this signature event to the reimagined Monster, which has become one of the most exciting new courses in the northeast. We’re so glad to play host to an event showcase the best in the game, as well as honor our region’s first responders.”
The Monster Golf Club has once again become a destination in the Catskills since the historic course underwent a $40 million transformation led by architect Rees Jones. The new 7,327-yard iteration combines elements from the original Monster creating one of the most challenging yet exciting golf experiences. The 2025 Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament reflects the Catskills’ re-emergence as a golf destination, harkening back to the Borscht Belt heyday with 21st century, world-class amenities offered by Resorts World.
