LPGA of Japan Tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Japan LPGA Tour is a professional golf tour for women organised by the Ladies Professional Golfers' Association of Japan. It is the second most significant women's golf tour in the world. The U.S.-based LPGA Tour is by far the most important women's tour. While the Japan Tour is the second-most lucrative women's tour, two other non-U.S. tours, the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA of Korea Tour, rival the Japan Tour in level of competition.
The 2006 schedule has 36 official events and total prize money of over US$ 24 million.
The tour's major championships are the Japan Open, the JLPGA Championship and the JLPGA Tour Championship. One of the leading events on the tour, the Mizuno Classic, is co-sanctioned by the LPGA Tour.
