Look Out Champions: LPGA Going To Five Majors By '13

A Golfweek Staff report says the LPGA Tour is now looking to catch the Champions Tour's eleven majors by making the Evian an LPGA major.

This would be a non-story except that the LPGA has one of the most admired Hall of Fame entry standards and this will muddle that a bit.

Beginning in 2013, Evian will be designated as a major championship, the LPGA’s fifth, sources told Golfweek.

The LPGA’s number of major championships has been a moving target over the years. The tour’s current majors – Kraft Nabisco Championship, Wegmans LPGA Championship, U.S. Women’s Open and Ricoh Women’s British Open – have been a foursome only since 2001. Before the British Open achieved major status, the du Maurier Classic was the tour’s fourth major, from 1979 to 2000.
