The '''ShopRite LPGA Classic''', known in full for sponsorship reasons as '''The ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer''',<ref name="acer">{{cite web |publisher=LPGA |url=http://www.lpga.com/golf/news/2013/1/acer-named-presenting-sponsor-for-shoprite-lpga-classic.aspx |title=Acer Announced as ShopRite LPGA Presenting Sponsor |date=January 8, 2013 |access-date=January 9, 2013}}</ref> is a women's professional golf tournament on the [[LPGA Tour]] in [[Galloway, New Jersey]], near [[Atlantic City, New Jersey|Atlantic City]].  It took place annually from [[1986 LPGA Tour|1986]] through [[2006 LPGA Tour|2006]] and returned to the tour schedule in [[2010 LPGA Tour|2010]]<!--at a new venue,<ref>[http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/golf/story/1336185.html ShopRite LPGA Classic back in 2010]</ref>--> at the Bay Course at the Dolce Seaview Resort, with a prize fund of [[United States dollar|$]]1.75 million. Purchased in September 2010, the resort is now known as [[Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club|Seaview, A Dolce Hotel]].

==History==
From 1986 through 2006, the tournament was played at two different courses near Atlantic City, with the first two and last nine years played on the Bay Course of the [[Seaview (Absecon)|Seaview Marriott Resort]]. It was a 54-hole tournament played over three days, except for [[1990 LPGA Tour|1990]] when it was a four-day, 72-hole event. For a decade (1988–97), the event was played at Greate Bay Country Club in [[Somers Point, New Jersey|Somers Point]], known as Sands Country Club until 1991.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://athepoint.blogspot.com/2011/07/greate-bay-golf-country-club.html |title=Greate Bay Golf & Country Club |work=At the Point (blog) |access-date=June 1, 2012}}</ref>

The tournament was originally known as the '''Atlantic City LPGA Classic'''. Its name was changed in 1992 to the '''[[ShopRite (United States)|ShopRite]] LPGA Classic''' when [[Wakefern Food Corporation]] took over as the sponsor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shopritelpga.org/history.html|title=ShopRight LPGA Classic History|access-date=November 18, 2006|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928015221/http://www.shopritelpga.org/history.html|archive-date=September 28, 2007}}</ref>

In 2013, [[Acer, Inc.|Acer]], a Taiwanese computer hardware and electronics company, was added as a presenting sponsor.<ref name="acer" />

Starting in the 2007 season, the LPGA decided to use the traditional ShopRite Classic dates in early June for a new tournament, the [[Ginn Tribute Hosted by Annika]].  After being unable to agree with the LPGA on new dates, the owners decided to end the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/newjersey/story/6874444p-6739963c.html |title=ShopRite Classic folds after schedule dispute with LPGA |last=Canavan |first=Tom |publisher=Associated Press |access-date=November 18, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061111205351/http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/newjersey/story/6874444p-6739963c.html |archive-date=November 11, 2006}}</ref> ShopRite retained a presence on the LPGA Tour in 2007 as the presenting sponsor of the [[Sybase Classic]]. Under the leadership of Eiger Marketing Group in 2009, the LPGA Tour announced that the ShopRite LPGA Classic would return to the schedule in 2010, as a three-day tournament to be played at the same course. The resort on which the course sits was renamed the Dolce Seaview Resort in 2009 after Dolce Hotels took over management from Marriott.<ref name="dolce-marriott">{{cite web |work=HotelWorld Network |url=http://www.hotelworldnetwork.com/north-americacaribbean/dolce-manage-historic-resort-seaview-4901 |title=Dolce to manage historic resort Seaview |date=April 29, 2009 |access-date=June 15, 2010 }}{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Following the purchase by the [[Richard Stockton College of New Jersey]] for $20 million in September 2010, it was renamed the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club.<ref name=stocpur10>{{cite news |url=http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/communities/absecon_galloway_port-republic/article_ae790e1a-b63b-11df-8293-001cc4c03286.html |title=Stockton College closes $20 million Seaview purchase |date=September 1, 2010 |work=pressofatlanticcity.com |access-date=April 26, 2012}}</ref> The name of property was changed to Seaview, A Dolce Hotel, when it was purchased by KDG Capital LLC in July 2018.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/business/stockton-seaview-sold-to-florida-company/article_0091c5eb-6112-5796-a44a-d3c35f039c68.html |title=Stockton Seaview sold to Florida company |last=Lowe |first=Claire LOWE |work=Press of Atlantic City |access-date=2018-08-02 }}</ref>
