Aloha to LPGA Golf in Hawaii - 2009 Kapalua LPGA Classic Canceled

Wednesday July 1, 2009
Yesterday the Kapalua LPGA Classic which was scheduled for Hawaii was canceled because of a lack of a title sponsor. The announcement was made by Kapalua Land Co. a division of Maui Land & Pineapple.

The event began last year and was won by Kapalua Tour Pro Morgan Pressel. This year's event was sure to draw a huge local crowd with the appearance of Hawaii's own Michelle Wie.

This is the third Hawaii LPGA event in the past two years that has seen an end. Next year, in all likelihood, there will be no LPGA events in Hawaii.

Read all of the details on Brent Kelley's Golf site here at About.com and then join me in Brent's forum to share your thoughts. Are we seeing the death of the LPGA?
