HARRISON, N.Y. – The size, weight and scale of the LPGA’s flagship event have been magnified tenfold.
At least that’s how it feels with the LPGA Championship fully transformed as the new KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
The LPGA is trying to preserve memories of the major its tour members created 60 years ago, attaching the LPGA Championship’s history, its trophy and its past champions and records to the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, but everything feels so fresh and new this week at Westchester Country Club.
This doesn’t feel like the LPGA Championship is being rolled out under a new name as part of a new partnership.
