For all those fans bummed about Safeway International scrapping its Phoenix tournament from the LPGA’s 2009 roster, break out your folding chairs.
The LPGA Tour has found a new venue for its Phoenix stop in the recently renovated Papago Golf Course. The tournament will be played March 26-29 at the historic club that has been receiving rave reviews since it was unveiled mid-December 2008.
“The Phoenix event has long been one of the most popular and storied stops on the LPGA Tour, with past champions ranging from Betsy King to Laura Davies to Annika Sorenstam to, most recently, Lorena Ochoa,” remarked LPGA Commissioner Carolyn F. Bivens. “This March we will add an exciting new chapter in the event’s history when our players step foot on this beautifully renovated city-owned course. We look forward to engaging with the people of Phoenix in a truly new and unique way as we compete on their championship course for the first time.”
