The LPGA’s schedule is almost maxed out.
It’s another testament to the rebuilding job commissioner Mike Whan has orchestrated since taking over the tour five years ago.
With Whan announcing Wednesday that the new Volvik Championship in Michigan is officially being added to next year’s schedule, the LPGA calendar is nearly full, as Whan envisions it. The Volvik Championship is scheduled to be played May 26-29 at Travis Pointe Country Club in Ann Arbor. That’s over Memorial Day weekend.
If the Reignwood Classic in China returns as expected in 2016, the LPGA is looking at a schedule of 33 official events next year.
