LPGA TAKES OVER FUTURES TOUR
Ladies Professional Golf Association Commissioner Carolyn F. Bivens, in conjunction with Zayra Calderon, president and CEO of the Duramed Futures Tour, announced today that the LPGA has acquired the Duramed FuturesTour effective immediately.
The Duramed Futures Tour has been the official developmental tour of the LPGA since 1999.
The Duramed Futures Tour offers rising stars in the women’s game the opportunity to prepare for a career on the LPGA. For the past eight years, the Duramed Futures Tour has operated in a licensee role with the LPGA.
In recent years the organisations have worked closely to align business practices to assist the members of both tours with professional development, and to prepare members of the Duramed Futures Tour for the transition to the LPGA.
One of the biggest examples of the synergy between the two organisations over the years has been the awarding of coveted LPGA Tour cards to the top money leaders on the Duramed Futures Tour. In 2003, the LPGA increased the cards from three to five.
