Pro-Bono Classic Returns To LPGA, No Word On Purse
/Thanks to Steven T. for this unbylined Arizona Republic story on the 2012 return of the LPGA's controversial RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup.
The ladies will have to play an extra round...perhaps this means they'll get paid this year?
The tournament will be held March 13-18 and will expand from 54 holes to 72.
This year's tournament, won by Karrie Webb, was noteworthy in that LPGA players agreed to donate the $1 million purse to charity. There was no immediate word whether that will occur again next year.
"We are delighted to be hosting the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort," said Steve Hart, general manager and area vice president for Marriott. "The event last year was terrific and we look forward to a long relationship with RR Donnelley and the LPGA."
