The LPGA's Kroger Queen City Championship Presented by P&G will tee off on Thursday, September 7, and host many of the world's top golfers. The Championship will conclude on Sunday with an award ceremony honoring the tournament winner.

"We couldn't be prouder to showcase how the Queen City is a great place to work, live, raise a family, and enjoy world-class events like the Kroger Queen City Championship Presented by P&G," said Pat Cady, P&G Sales Senior Vice President. "In year two, it's incredible to see how the impact of the Game Changers program has grown to empower women not only here in Cincinnati, but also across the country."
