(Reuters) - The Reignwood Pine Valley LPGA Classic in China has been postponed due to "a date conflict" and will not take place in Beijing in October, the LPGA Tour announced on Thursday.

The event had been scheduled from October 1-4.

However, the Tour said the decision would not impact the long-term future of the tournament, with an extension of the agreement being finalised for two more years, beginning in 2016.

"While we're certainly disappointed that we will not be in Beijing this Fall, we're excited that Reignwood is committed to this wonderful international Reignwood LPGA Classic event for two more years," said LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan.
