LPGA's Founders Cup adds $1.5 million purse
Golf Betting Lines
12/06/2011 -
Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - An event that honors the 13 founding
members of the LPGA Tour will have a $1.5 million purse next season.
The Founders Cup, which was played for the first time as a 54-hole tournament
in March, will also be expanded to four rounds, the LPGA Tour said Tuesday.
The inaugural event featured a $1 million purse that counted toward the
official money list, but was donated entirely to charity.
Hall of Famer Karrie Webb called it "a great concept" after shooting a 66 in
the final round to win.
Next year's event, to be played March 15-18 at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix,
Arizona, will promise $500,000 to the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program. But the
$1.5 million purse will be paid to the players.
The tournament, in addition to honoring the tour's founding members, will also
pay tribute to four pioneering players "who had a major role in creating one
of the most successful women's sports organizations in history," the LPGA
said.
The players are Peggy Kirk Bell, Betsy Rawls, Barbara Romack and Mickey
Wright.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
