1. LPGA Playoffs 2007 begins next week; Second year of playoffs brings modifications to format

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – After an exciting finish to the first year of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Playoffs that concluded with 20-year-old rookie Julieta Granada walking away with a women's golf-record $1 million first-place paycheck, the LPGA looks to have another exciting year as the LPGA Playoffs 2007 kicks off next week at the SBS Open at Turtle Bay.

Fans can expect yet another year of excitement and drama to build throughout the season as players attempt to qualify for the season-ending ADT Championship and a chance at a $1 million first-place paycheck, the largest first-place prize in the history of women's golf. The second installment of the LPGA Playoffs includes some modifications to both the qualifying and ADT Championship formats that will bring about even more excitement for golf fans and players.

“LPGA Playoffs 2006, the first-ever playoffs system in golf, proved to be an exciting format for golf fans and players during the 2006 season. The changes we have made to the system will build on a solid first year,” said Carolyn Bivens, LPGA commissioner. “We sought feedback from our key constituencies – players, fans, media, sponsors – to capture the key learnings from 2006 and ensure that we present the most compelling system for all to follow in 2007. The changes to the format for 2007 will only add to the excitement the fans and players experienced in 2006.”

LPGA Playoffs 2007 is a yearlong competitive structure that will include a “regular season” that splits the LPGA schedule into two halves, with 15 players from each half qualifying for the ADT Championship using a performance-based points system—ADT Points—throughout the year, plus two wild cards. The 2007 winner of the ADT Championship, which features three days of “playoffs” plus the final championship round, will earn $1 million.

Key modifications for 2007
The categorization of events has been simplified for 2007; the four types of qualifying categories have been replaced with just two. LPGA Playoffs 2007 will consist of 10 Winner events, during which all players who make the cut will earn ADT Points and the champion of Winner events will automatically advance to the ADT Championship. Winner events are defined as all official LPGA Tour events with a purse of at least $2,000,000 as of the official start of the LPGA season. All other events listed on the schedule will be standard events and will also use the ADT Points system. The ADT Points system has also been modified and will now be derived based on money earned, with one ADT Point being equivalent to $1 earned at all official Tour events.

The format of the ADT Championship, the conclusion of the season-long LPGA Playoffs system, has been modified in order to build on the success of the 2006 event. The 16 players who advance to the third round will start with a fresh scorecard for Saturday's round, instead of posting 54-hole cumulative scores. The eight players who advance to Sunday's final round will once again start with a fresh scorecard.

For the first-time ever, a non-LPGA Tour member has the opportunity to compete in the ADT Championship. If a non-LPGA Tour member wins one of the four majors, she is eligible to compete in the season-ending ADT Championship and is not required to become a member to do so. Also, if a non-LPGA Tour member wins a Winner event other than one of the four majors, she may apply for LPGA membership and secure her spot in the ADT Championship.

The 2007 LPGA Tour season is broken into two halves, creating two points' races during the year. The first half concludes with the Wegmans LPGA in June, and the second half concludes with the final event prior to the ADT Championship, The Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions. Each half consists of five winners events.

LPGA members qualify for the ADT Championship by accumulating ADT Points during each half of the season or by winning an automatic entry. Fifteen players qualify from each half, plus two wild cards, for a 32-player field at the ADT Championship. The two wild cards will be the top two players from the LPGA Official Money List, who are not otherwise qualified after The Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions.

The ADT Championship will feature three days of “playoffs,” with a final-round shootout. During the weekend, the scorecards will be wiped clean for both the third and final rounds. After 36 holes, the first cut will be made to the low-16 players, with a sudden-death playoff used in case of a tie. The third round will be played in eight groups of two, with all players starting with a fresh scorecard. After 54 holes, another cut will be made to the low eight players, again using a sudden-death playoff to break any ties for eighth place.

The final round will be played in four groups of two, with all players starting with a fresh scorecard. The player who records the lowest score in the final round will win the ADT Championship, $1 million.

A comparison of the key modifications from LPGA Playoffs 2006 to LPGA Playoffs 2007

2006 The third round scores were cumulative through 54 holes.
2007 Players will start with fresh scorecards for the third round.

2006 Tournaments were categorized as “Global Group,” “Major,” “Points” or “Winner” events, with different ADT Points awarded for each category.
2007 Players will earn ADT Points in all official events, and 10 events will be categorized as Winner events where the winner automatically advances to the ADT Championship. All other events listed on the schedule will be standard events. All other event categorizations from 2006 have been removed for 2007.

2006 Only LPGA Tour members were eligible to qualify for the ADT Championship via LPGA Playoffs 2006.
2007 If a non-LPGA member wins one of the four Majors, she is eligible to compete in the ADT Championship and she is not required to become an LPGA member to play. If a non-LPGA member wins a Winner event, that is not a Major, she may compete in the ADT Championship if she applies for and is granted Tour membership.

2006 ADT Points were awarded to the top-20 finishers in official events only.
2007 ADT Points system will be awarded to all LPGA Tour members who make the cut at official LPGA events. ADT Points will be derived based on money earned, with one ADT Point being equivalent to $1 earned at all official Tour events.

2. Storylines aplenty for 2007; The Solheim Cup returns, Tour travels to St. Andrews and race for Rolex POY begins

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The official start of the 2007 LPGA Tour season is one week away and, after an unpredictable 2006, fans are holding their breath for what promises to be an equally exciting 2007.

On the road, again
The 2007 LPGA Tour schedule boasts at least 35 tournaments with nearly $55 million in prize money, including 10 tournaments with purses at or surpassing $2 million – all monetary records in Tour history. Highlighting the schedule is the 10th staging of The Solheim Cup, which will take place in Halmstad, Sweden. The United States holds rights to The Solheim Cup and an overall 6-3 record after the 15 ½-12 ½ victory in 2005. However, Europe has won three of four events staged on home soil. Betsy King will lead the U.S. Team across the Atlantic in a showdown against Helen Alfredsson and her European Team.

The Tour will also travel to the birthplace of golf: the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland for the Weetabix Women's British Open. It will mark the first time a professional women's golf championship has been held on the Old Course at St. Andrews.

After one of the most thrilling Friday's of the season with a six-way playoff for three spots at the ADT Championship, the season-long LPGA Playoffs 2007 return. The format has been revised slightly, but promises to make the LPGA Playoffs 2007 a race to remember. Once again, one lucky player will cash a $1 million first-place check at the season-ending ADT Championship in November.

Viva, Lorena!
It was the year of Lorena Ochoa in 2006. The 2003 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year started the season with three wins. A few months and numerous “of-the-Year” awards later, Ochoa picked up a total of six wins and 14 additional top-10 finishes in 25 events. She earned Rolex Player of the Year honors with more than $2.5 million in season earnings, as well as the Vare Trophy for her 69.24 scoring average. An icon in her native Mexico, Ochoa was also named Mexico's Female Athlete of the Year. As the wins grew, so did Ochoa's confidence, proving she is the golfer who could challenge world number one Annika Sorenstam's iron fist on the top position on Tour, and possibly the world.

However, Sorenstam is too talented to go down without a fight. Although she did not repeat the 10-win season she had in 2005, Sorenstam earned her 10th major victory after an 18-hole playoff against Pat Hurst at the U.S. Women's Open and two additional titles. Sorenstam was also a co-leader on Tour with Ochoa with 16 top-10 finishes for best percentage (80 percent). What is left for Sorenstam, who is balancing her golf game with golf course designing and the upcoming opening of her golf academy in Orlando? The season grand slam, in which a player wins all four majors in the same year.

What a difference one year makes
Until a wedge from 116 yards out on the 18th hole fell for Karrie Webb at the Kraft Nabisco Championship to force a playoff she would go on to win, Webb had not won a tournament since June 2004. After the Kraft Nabisco Championship, Webb would find victory four more times and accumulate more than $2 million in season earnings for her best season since 2001.

Coming off an equally disappointing 2005, Se Ri Pak captured the McDonald's LPGA Championship after defeating Webb in a sudden-death playoff. Pak recorded seven additional top-10 finishes and will meet her final 10-year Tour membership requirement to become eligible for the LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame this summer. A trailblazer for aspiring golfers in South Korea, Pak will be the first South Korean to reach Hall of Fame status.

Julieta Granada started 2007 right where she ended 2006: with a win. Granada who was a rookie in 2006, won the 2006 ADT Championship and a historical $1 million first-place check after qualifying for the event via second half points in the LPGA Playoffs 2006. Her winnings were enough for fourth on the season-ending LPGA Official Money List and most single-season earnings by a rookie in Tour history. Granada recorded six additional top-10 finishes during her rookie year, including two runner-up finishes at the Wegmans LPGA and the Corona Morelia Championship. Granada teamed with Celeste Troche to represent Paraguay and win the 2007 Women's World Cup of Golf last month.

Diversity reigns
Granada, Ochoa, Pak, Sorenstam and Webb are among 117 international LPGA Tour members in 2007. Twenty-six countries are represented, however, none come close to South Korea with 45 golfers, 14 of whom are among the 33 rookies. Seon Hwa Lee was the fifth South Korean to be named Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year since Se Ri Pak first blazed the trail in 1998. Rookie Song Hee Kim looks to follow in Lee's footsteps. Kim easily secured Rookie of the Year honors on the Duramed Futures Tour in 2006 with five wins and another six top-10 finishes in just 18 starts.

In 2006, 94 international members cashed an LPGA paycheck of 197 overall Tour members. Additionally, international members won 26 of 33 official tournaments in 2006. Ochoa and Webb combined for 11 of those victories. Of the 32 players to qualify for the ADT Championship via the LPGA Playoffs 2006, 19 held international status.

But do not discount the American contingent. Led by Cristie Kerr with three victories, she was joined in the top-10 on the LPGA Official Money List by Juli Inkster (seventh) and Pat Hurst (10th). Kerr finished the 2006 season with nearly $1.6 million and top-three on Tour in scoring average (third, 70.0659), rounds under par (second, 72.5 percent), top-10 finishes (third, 18/26), birdies (second, 387), eagles (second, 11) and putts per GIR (first, 1.72). Kerr also leads the points race for the U.S. Solheim Cup Team by more than 100 points over Inkster (484 to 359). On their heels were 2005 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year Paula Creamer in 11th on the money list and third in Solheim Cup points standings. Creamer, who won twice during her debut season, recorded 14 top-10 finishes, while making all 27 cuts in tournaments she entered last season.

American Brittany Lincicome was one of five Rolex First-Time Winners in 2006 after winning six-consecutive matches at the HSBC Women's World Match Play Championship. On the way, Ochoa, Inkster and Michelle Wie were among the names she defeated to claim the title. She along with Sherri Steinhauer, who won the Weetabix Women's British Open, and Natalie Gulbis lined up 14th through 16th on the LPGA Official Money List, followed closely by Stacy Prammanasudh. Prammansudh's season included a career-high six top-10 finishes and more than $650,000 in earnings.

3. LPGA extends partnership with Choice Hotels International through 2009

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has extended its three-year partnership with Choice Hotels International as the official hotel partner of the LPGA. The agreement will last through 2009.

Visitors to LPGA.com will also find a banner ad for Choice Hotels International with a direct link to the Choice Hotels LPGA Fan page, which offers LPGA fans discounts when using an LPGA code.

“We are truly excited about extending our partnership with the LPGA through the 2009 season,” said Donald Crawford, director of sports marketing for Choice Hotels International. “The relationship will allow us to continue strengthening our brand equity across all our brands among sports fans and deliver incremental business to our hotels.”

Fans can also look forward to the launch of the annual Choice Hotels Sweepstakes, where contestants have a chance to win the grand prize trip to the ADT Championship in November.

4. Dates, locations set for LPGA's qualifying tournaments

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The dates and locations for the Ladies Professional Golf Association's (LPGA) sectional and final qualifiers have been determined for 2007. The sectional qualifying tournaments will be held Sept. 19-22 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., and Oct. 2-5 at Plantation Golf & Country Club in Venice, Fla. The LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament will be held Nov. 28-Dec. 2 at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament will once again be a 90-hole, five-day event, taking place on both the Legends and Champions courses at LPGA International. The first 72 holes will be played on both courses. After 72 holes, the field will be cut to the low 70 players and ties, and the final round will be contested on the Legends course.

The first sectional qualifier will be held at the same site as the Tour's first major of the season, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, for the fifth consecutive year. Due to this year being a Solheim Cup year, the four-day tournament will be staged Wednesday-Saturday instead of Tuesday-Friday. For the second year, three rounds of competition—including the final round—will be staged on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course and only one round will be contested on the Palmer Course. It was the opposite for the previous three years. The Venice, Fla., sectional has been hosted at the Plantation Golf & Country Club since 1988.

At both sectional tournaments, the top-30 players and ties will advance to the final stage. In addition, players finishing sixth to 15th on the Duramed Futures Tour season-ending money list will also advance directly to the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament. Players finishing in the top five on the Duramed Futures Tour season-ending money list automatically earn exempt 2008 LPGA Tour cards.

The number of exempt spots available for the 2008 LPGA Tour season at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament will be determined just prior to the event.

Last year, LPGA Tour rookie In-Kyung Kim and Hye Jung Choi were co-medalists at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.

The LPGA has held qualifying tournaments since 1973.

USGA moves to three-hole playoff format for U.S. Women's Open. For the first time in its 61-year history, the 2007 U.S. Women's Open will use a three-hole playoff format as needed following the end of regulation play. Should a playoff be needed, the lowest aggregate score over three predetermined holes would determine the champion. If players remain tied, a sudden-death playoff would ensue until a winner emerged. Through 2006, all ties at the end of regulation had been broken with a mandatory 18-hole playoff, including the 2006 event in which Annika Sorenstam defeated Pat Hurst for her 10th major title. It was the 10th time the U.S. Women's Open had been decided in such a manner. The decision to change the format was made by a vote of the USGA Executive Committee at their annual meeting. The only championship in all of golf that remains decided by an 18-hole playoff is the U.S. Open.
