LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan said: “The HSBC Women’s World Championship holds a special place on the LPGA Tour, and we feel that this new name properly reflects the stature of this event. Competing in this world-class tournament is an honor that all of our players – the best female golfers in the world – hope to earn every year, and we are delighted that HSBC’s generous support will continue to make those dreams happen.” Grant Slack SVP & Managing Director, Golf Events, IMG, the tournament’s promoter, concluded: “We are very happy to have the chance to continue to work with HSBC and STB on this fantastic event.
