LPGA Tour Championship set but without sponsor
The successor to the ADT Championship will be played this November in Texas. From AP-
The LPGA Tour is going ahead with its season-ending Tour Championship without Stanford Financial.
The tour said Tuesday the LPGA Tour Championship will be played at The Houstonian Golf & Country Club on Nov. 19-22.
What remains puzzling is the 120-player field with limited daylight in Houston that time of the year.
The field will be cut to the top 70 and ties after two rounds, then cut to the top 30 players after the third round. The purse is $1.5 million, which is only $240,000 more than first prize at the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour.
No exclusive field, no million dollar winner. Sounds like any other tour stop to me. I make a bet Tour players wish the ADT Championship was still around.
