NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - After losing at least seven tournaments since 2007, the LPGA is renewing an old acquaintance. The ShopRite Classic is returning to the LPGA lineup next year with a $1.5 million pure.
The New Jersey supermarket chain, which is run by Village Super Market Inc., said Monday it is bringing back the tournament after a three-year absence. The event again will be held at the Seaview Resort in Galloway Township outside Atlantic City. It will be played June 14-20, coinciding with the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.
ShopRite has been the sponsor for the Sybase Classic in Clifton for the past three years. Sybase decided to leave after this year's event.
