Web.com Tour returning to KC area in August

The Web.com professional golf tour is returning to Overland Park this summer.

The tour announced Tuesday that the Digital Ally Open will be Aug. 4-7 at Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate. The week will also include pro-ams on Aug. 1 and 3.

The 72-hole tournament is one of 25 on this year’s Web.com Tour schedule. There will also be stops in Wichita during June 23-26 and Springfield during Aug. 11-14.

Fifty players on the Web.com Tour this year will earn cards to play on the PGA Tour next season.

Last year’s Digital Ally Open champion, Martin Piller, is on the PGA Tour this season and had his season-best finish, tied for 24th place, at last week’s CareerBuilder Challenge.
