Marty Evans and Michael Whan will announce the 2010 LPGA schedule which will consist of tentatively 24 events. They have only 18 on the schedule so far and I assume they are trying to shore up the contracts for the other six events in the next two weeks. Not since 1971 has the LPGA had fewer tournaments.
I also have it on very good authority that the entry requirements for tournaments will be changing in 2010. I can't seem to nail down the exact wording of the rules but it's a start in moving toward putting the best golfers on the course based on merit and not seniority. I am hoping they will exempt the top 30 players and force the rest to qualify. Insuring the players in the tournament are playing the best golf at that time.
Hey, no Ai Miyazato, Suzann Pettersen, Michelle Wie, or Natalie Gulbis this week. All big draws for the LPGA! I'm sure Tournament Officials are not happy about this. I'm going with Yani Tseng this week!
