LPGA Tour comes out of pandemic strong with 34-event schedule

NAPLES, Fla. -- LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan no longer measures success by making it to the end of year disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A schedule for 2021 he released Friday suggests the LPGA Tour came out stronger than ever.

The LPGA Tour has added two tournaments and didn't lose any of the ones that had to cancel because of the shutdown.

Whan left little wiggle room for more interruptions with a schedule that starts Jan. 21 in Florida and ends 10 months later with consecutive events in Florida. The first seven tournaments are all in the United States, with the Asia swing moving to the spring.
