I grew up in the Corning-Painted Post area, and one of the most exciting events held yearly was the LPGA Corning Classic at the Corning Country Club in East Corning, New York. This tournament was held at the country club from 1979 to 2009. According to an announcement on August 5, 2026, from the LPGA, the tournament is returning to the Corning Country Club, renamed "The Classic". - Craig Kessler, LPGA CommissionerThe Classic tournament will once again be presented by Corning Incorporated, as it did for 31 years. It's a renewed commitment for Corning Incorporated, as the company celebrates its 175th anniversary this year (2026).
