Scratch another one!

The LPGA keeps losing events and things aren't precisely in great shape. This year they started the season without two great tournaments, the Fileds Open and the Ginn Tribute; a couple of months ago the Kapalua LPGA Classic, which was supposed to take place in October withdrew from the schedule, this situation led to the "resignation" of Comissioner Bivens, the truth is some players decided it was time for her to leave.

Of course there were others who followed the Kapalua, such as the Corning Classic, which won't retuned in 2010, marking the first time this happens since its arrival 30 years ago.

Now the event which won't comeback is the so called "fifth major" of the season, the Michelob Ultra Open, that has been a premiun tournament since it's inclusion in 2003 mainly because of 2 reasons: great field and great purse, actually one of the biggest of the LPGA. Some of the former champions include Cristie Kerr (2009), Annika Sörenstam (2008), Suzann Pettersen (2007) and Karrie Webb (2006).

Seems like next year the tour will have to survive with 18 tournaments, unless something happens. This situation is clearly tough, especially for a sport which is very close to make it's Olympic comeback!
