In 2001, the United States Tennis Association selected Dothan to host one of its professional circuit events: The Women's $25,000 Challenger Event. Now as a $75,000 Women's Challenger Event, in 2008 it will return to Dothan for the eighth straight year. Held each year at the Westgate Tennis Center, the tournament includes a Pro-Am, Lessons for Kids, School Field Trips, City Challenges and the spectacular play of over 50 professional women competing for the purse of $75,000. Sponsors and spectators can take in play during the day and enjoy competitive feature matches at night along with special dining events.
