It is a 72-hole tournament as of 2013 (every year prior to 2013 was 54 holes). The original name of the tournament was Portland Ladies Classic.

LPGA Portland Classic Trivia and Notes: The Portland Classic was first played in 1972, and Kathy Whitworth was the first winner. Whitworth won again in 1973. The only other golfers to win it back-to-back are Annika Sorenstam, who did so in 2002-03, and Brooke Henderson in 2015-16.Nancy Lopez is the only 3-time winner. Lopez's wins came in 1985, 1987 and 1992.From 1977-82, the tournament was an unofficial money event, not an official LPGA Tour event. However, tournaments did take place in those years, and they were 2-person team tournaments. The winners, from 1977 forward through 1982, were JoAnne Carner/Judy Rankin, Kathy Whitworth/Donna Caponi, Jo Ann Washam/Nancy Lopez, Kathy Whitworth/Donna Caponi, Kathy Whitworth/Donna Caponi and Sandra Haynie/Kathy McMullen.When Missie McGeorge won the 1994 tournament (then called the Ping-Cellular One LPGA Golf Championship), it was her 295th start on the LPGA Tour and her first win. At the time, that was the record for longest time on the LPGA Tour before winning.In 2001, the tournament - which was then played in September - was canceled following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In the 2006 Safeway Classic, Nina Reis recorded three eagles during the first round. That mark shares the LPGA record for most eagles in one round.17-year-old Brooke Henderson earned her LPGA Tour membership by winning the 2015 tournament. She did so after Monday qualifying, becoming the first Monday qualifier since Laurel Kean in 2000 (and the second in tour history) to then go on to win the tournament. Henderson repeated as champion in 2016.
