LPGA Tour prepares to restart after five months with plenty of testing, maybe some fans
FirstpostThe LPGA Tour was last played on 16 February when Inbee Park won the Women’s Australian Open. “I fully believe we’ll lose another event or two or three along the way,” Commissioner Mike Whan said Wednesday. The LPGA Tour is to resume 31 July with the LPGA Drive On Championship, a one-time event with a $1 million purse at Inverness Club in Toledo, site of next year’s Solheim Cup. The Memorial on the PGA Tour was supposed to be the first golf tournament with fans, a plan that was scrapped two weeks ago as cases spiked and players weren’t comfortable with widening the bubble. After two weeks in Ohio, the LPGA heads to Scotland for the Ladies Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club and the year’s first major, the Women’s British Open at Royal Troon, before returning to Arkansas.
