The Meijer LPGA Classic is a women's professional golf tournament in Michigan on the LPGA Tour. Founded in 2014, it is played at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, a suburb northeast of Grand Rapids.

Mirim Lee won the inaugural tournament in a playoff with Inbee Park for her first LPGA Tour win. ^[2]

Nelly Korda won her second LPGA tournament in 2021, finishing with a new Meijer record of 263, winning by two strokes over Leona Maguire. A round record, which tied two others in past years, of 62 on Saturday gave her a three-stroke lead (196 to 199) from her 62 to Maguire's 70, after trailing Maguire by five strokes (134 to 129) after the second round. Korda was ranked #4 in the world, won her fifth LPGA title. Korda eagled the par-5 14th hole, to go with six birdies and three bogeys. In the final round, Korda led by just one stroke going to the 18th hole, which she birdied for her two-stroke win. Her 263 for the 72 holes also set a new tournament record as was her 25 strokes below par. ^[3]
