PENDLETON, Ore. (August 04, 2025) — Wildhorse Resort & Casino, Eastern Oregon’s premier family and entertainment destination, has announced that three professionals have received sponsor exemptions to compete in the 2025 Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic. The tournament, part of the Epson Tour, the official qualifying tour of the LPGA, will take place Aug. 15–17 at Wildhorse Golf Course, located on the resort grounds.
The allowance of three sponsor exemptions enables Wildhorse Resort & Casino to select professionals based on their outstanding performances, combined with potential fan interest, to play in the tournament.
- Selanée Henderson Pendleton, of Philomath, Oregon, played at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), where she was inducted into the UCI Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023. She was runner-up on Golf Channel’s “Big Break Atlantis” in 2012 and was named the 2006 Big West Conference women’s golf athlete of the year. A descendant of the Walla Walla Tribe, Henderson Pendleton’s maternal grandmother was born on the reservation.
- Maisie Filler, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, played collegiate golf at the University of Florida and reached No. 1 in the NCAA rankings in February 2024. She was named a 2024 second-team All-American by the Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) and earned first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors. Filler is also a four-time SEC Golfer of the Week.
- Lauren Beaudreau, from Lemont, Illinois, competed at the University of Notre Dame and was recognized as a 2024 WGCA All-American honorable mention. She was selected to the 2024 All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) women’s golf team and was named ACC Golfer of the Month in March 2024 (co-selection). Beaudreau claimed an individual win at the 2024 NCAA Division I East Lansing Regional.
“We’re grateful to offer sponsor exemptions to these tremendously accomplished professionals, each representing different regions of the country and helping to shine a spotlight on Eastern Oregon,” said Gary E. George, CEO of Wildhorse Resort & Casino. “It’s especially gratifying to welcome Selanée Henderson Pendleton to our tournament as a descendant of our Tribe.”
