Lexington Vying for LPGA Tour

By Scott Hamilton, Business Lexington

Another professional golf tour could be making a stop in Central Kentucky. Efforts are underway to bring an LPGA Tour event to the Lexington area as soon as 2013 after a small group from the Bluegrass Sports Commission met with LPGA officials earlier this month. A few hurdles remain, but if successful, the new tournament could deliver a multimillion dollar jolt to the local economy while raising the Lexington area’s sporting profile for events other than college basketball.
