List of titles no. 1 in the world, Nelly Cord who has to defend in 2025, cut with a Friday.
Because of what the LPGA described as financial neglect by a tournament of the tournament, the league canceled the fir Hills series championshipwhich was scheduled to be played at the Palos Verdes Golf Club from March 20-23. The tournament has a $ 2 million bag.
“The cancellation of the event on his current date was inevitable due to the failure to meet any part of his payment obligations to the LPGA Tour for the events of 2024 and 2025,” LPGA said in a statement on Friday. “The LPGA will work with our dedicated title of the title, Fir Hills, and the legend of LPGA a little series, as well as with all other stakeholders to explore the options available for the event after this issue is resolved with the signator . “
The fir Hills series champion started in 2018 and is one of the main stops of the LPGA Tour in front of the Chevron Championship, the first season of the season. Korda won last year’s title in a playoff.
“We are deeply disappointed to announce that this year’s championship at FIR Hills Park series will not continue in March,” LPGA Liz Moore said temporary commissioner. “We apologize for the impact this has on our players, as well as our fans, partners and volunteers. We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to staff and members of Falos Verdes Golf Club, Palos Verdes Estate and tour operator, Outlyr, for their extraordinary partnership and hospitality. It is our intention to return to Palos Verdes in the future to host the title sponsor, Fir Hills, alongside these great partners. We remain committed to returning this event to our schedule to honor the extraordinary heritage of the little series, which has been a wonderful ambassador for the game and this event. “
The decision to cancel the event comes at an unstable time for the LPGA Tour. Commissioner Molie Marcoux Saman resigned earlier this month after an unequal mandate. With the overtime of spring hours, there will be a two-week margin between the return of the Asia tour, where there will be three limited field events, and the Ford Championship on March 27-30.
The LPGA Tour season will start next week at the Hilton Grand Holiday Champions Tournament, where Lydia KO is defending its title.
