The Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational is a women's professional golf tournament on the LPGA Tour that is played in Michigan. A new event in 2019, it is held at Midland Country Club in Midland, Michigan.[1] It is a team event, similar to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA Tour,[2] with alternate shot (foursome) in the first and third rounds and better ball (fourball) for the second and fourth rounds.[3] Dow Chemical Company is the title sponsor.[1]

The 2020 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] For the 2021 edition, the purse was increased to $2.3 million, with the first-place team splitting $559,000.

For 2022, the purse was increased to $2.5 million, with the first-place team splitting $607,620.[5]
