One of the oldest events of the LPGA Tour, the Portland Classic has had numerous sponsors for more than 50 years; the event was established in 1972 and was called the Portland Ladies Classic. Notably, the event has been divided into five courses: Portland Golf Club, Columbia Edgewater Country Club, Riverside Golf & Country Club, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club (Ghost Creek Course), and Oregon Golf Club.
From 1977 to 1982, the tournament was a team event and its prize money was unofficial. Also, for the first 41 years, that is, until 2013, the event was a 54-hole event, after which it changed its format to 72-holes. Since 1972, more than $19 million has been contributed to local children's organizations through the tournament's proceeds. In 2005, the event was shifted from September to August on the schedule, and in 2007, the purse increased to $1.7 million, and after a few fluctuations, it came to $1.75 million in 2024.
