The Manulife LPGA Classic in Canada is off next years schedule, and the Lorena Ochoa Match Play also is not expected to return. The McKayson New Zealand Womens Open is not returning, but only because it is sliding off the schedule to move up early on the 2019 schedule.Whan said two new West Coast events are being added, and they will be positioned on the calendar next to the Lotte Championship in Hawaii, to give players more reasons to stay out west.Whan said theres also a new international event being added to the schedule, but details of the new events wont be released until the full schedule is released sometime after Thanksgiving.I hope youll agree that stability and predictability havent always been the calling card of the LPGA, but it has been the last few years, Whan said. Im proud to tell you that the revenues of the LPGA in the last five or six years are up almost 90 percent. We have added 20 title sponsors and over 20 official marketing partners in the last five or six years. Dont know too many sports that could claim that.Q-School officially overhauled . . .Whan said the LPGA Qualifying Tournament will still be played in three stages next year, but the final stage will get a makeover as the Q-School Series.The LPGA will continue to host first and second stages, but instead of a five-round final stage, there will be an eight-round finals series, with two four-round tournaments scheduled in back-to-back weeks in the same city, with cumulative scores used over eight rounds. The new Q-Series site will be announced early next year.A field of 108 will make the Q-Series finals, with 40 to 50 LPGA tour cards up for grabs.The Q-Series field will be filled by players finishing 101st to 150th on the LPGA money list, players finishing 31st to 50th on the Symetra Tour money list, with up to 10 players from among the top 75 in the Rolex Womens World Rankings who dont have LPGA membership. Also, the field will include the top five in the Golfweek Sagarin College Rankings. The rest of the field will be filled by players advancing through Q-Schools second stage, which could be anywhere from 23 to 33 players, depending how many from the world rankings and college rankings choose to go to the Q-Series.
