The IOA Invitational was a tournament on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. It was a part of the Symetra Tour's schedule between 2018 and 2020. It was held at Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton, Georgia.[1]

Elizabeth Szokol was the inaugural champion, and in 2019 María Parra prevailed over Leona Maguire, Ssu-Chia Cheng and Madison Pressel in a five-hole playoff hole for her first Symetra Tour victory.[2]

The tournament in 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
