The French Lick Charity Championship is a tournament on the Epson Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. It has been a part of the Symetra Tour's schedule since 2017. It is held at French Lick Resort in French Lick, Indiana.[1]

The tournament is held on the Donald Ross Course, named in honor of the Scottish-born golf course designer Donald Ross, who built the resort's second course in 1917.

The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

With her win in 2021, Casey Danielson took the Symetra Tour money lead and wrapped up an LPGA Tour card for 2022.[3]

Starting in 2022, the event is hosted on the resort's second course, the Pete Dye Course, and contested over 72 holes with a purse of $335,000.[3]
