LPGA Will Try Oakmont Again for L.A. Women’s Championship
A new $650,000 LPGA event will be played in February at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale.
The Los Angeles Women’s Championship has a three-year agreement to stage the event at Oakmont, which hosted an LPGA tournament from 1985-87.
The new tournament fills a void in the early-season LPGA schedule Feb. 13-16 and becomes the first LPGA event in Los Angeles since 1989, the last year of a tournament at Rancho Park. Other women’s events failed in Buena Park, Santa Barbara and San Diego.
The Nabisco Dinah Shore in Rancho Mirage observed its 25th year of operation during its tournament in March.
