2023 Epson Tour

The 2023 Epson Tour was a series of professional women's golf tournaments held from March through October 2023 in the United States. The Epson Tour is the second-tier women's professional golf tour in the United States and is the "official developmental tour" of the LPGA Tour. It was most recently known as the Symetra Tour.

Changes for 2023

The number of tournaments were expanded from 21 to 22. Inaugural events are Hartford HealthCare Women's Championship and Black Desert Resort Championship, while the Ann Arbor's Road to the LPGA was removed from the schedule after only one installment.

The Carolina Golf Classic in North Carolina changed name to Champions Fore Change Invitational.
