FineMark Women’s Pro Tennis isn’t just about elite competition; it’s about making a lasting mark in Southwest Florida. 

This week, Bonita Bay comes alive with world-class women’s tennis as it welcomes one of the most distinctive stops on the USTA Pro Circuit. With a $100,000 purse on the line, few events in the U.S. match this tournament’s stakes, and that prize money draws rising stars from every corner of the globe.

But it’s more than the matches themselves that make this event stand out. Over the years, the tournament’s organizers have developed a reputation not just for high-level play but for the way they run things. 

Thanks to the dedication of those behind the scenes, the event has raised millions for local health causes, especially the Lee Health Cancer Center. A week of tennis turns into years of support for the community.

Keeping a tournament like this thriving isn’t easy. Many new tournaments lose steam. But here, volunteers and organizers pour everything into making it a success year after year. 

The experience also means a lot to the players themselves. Players feel that sense of belonging, the crowd, the support, the local pride. 

The tournament runs through May 3, blending top-tier tennis with real community impact. Don’t miss the next chance to catch it from April 27 to May 3, 2026, for another unforgettable week. The FineMark Tournament just clinched the prestigious ITF Standards Award for the second straight year, one of only six events worldwide with that distinction.

It all happens at Bonita Bay Club, 26660 Country Club Dr., Bonita Springs, FL. Elite tennis, lasting community change, that’s what this tournament is all about. For more information, click here.
