Collision Course: LPGA and Champions Tour in Oregon on Same Week
Did anyone at LPGA HQ notice that the Champions Tour’s fifth major – the Jeld-Wen Tradition, played in Oregon – is being played the same weekend as the LPGA’s Safeway Classic at Pumpkin Ridge?
The Jeld-Wen Tradition is being played in Bend, Oregon.
Just up the road (or 186 miles away according to Mapquest), the Safeway Classic is being played in North Plains, Oregon.
Two tournaments in the same state that close together? Anyone think was a scheduling foul up? One problem I see right off the top of my head is finding pro-am partners sufficient for both tournaments.
A commenter at Waggleroom notes this isn’t the first time for such a scheduling conflict. Three years ago, The LPGA, Champions, and Nationwide Tours were all playing events in Georgia on the same weekend.
