KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - WVLT Sports broke the news to you last May during Visit Knoxville Open Week. Now we know the particulars for the new Epson Tour stop here in East Tennessee.

The Epson Tour is the women’s equivalent of the Korn Ferry Tour, which plays in Knoxville each May at the Holston Hills Country Club.

This new tour stop, being called the Smoky Mountain Championship, will be played at the Green Meadow Country Club in Blount County beginning next August.

Tourney Vice president Patrick Nichol said this area’s love for the Lady Vols makes this event a perfect fit for East Tennessee.

Like the Visit Knoxville Open, proceeds from this event will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley.

This inaugural tournament is set for next Aug. 3 through 9.
