Locust Hill Country Club, Rochester, NY—November 18, 2009: In their quest to find a presenting sponsor and championship golf course to host their flagship LPGA Championship, the LPGA and the Wegmans LPGA have formed a one-year partnership to bring this prestigious major LPGA Championship to Rochester in 2010.

We are proud to announce that the 2010 LPGA Championship will be presented by Wegmans and hosted at Locust Hill Country Club, the long-standing site of the Wegmans LPGA. “The Wegmans LPGA, Locust Hill and the Rochester community are all so important to the LPGA Tour, so it’s only appropriate that they should host this prestigious championship in 2010. We are grateful to Colleen Wegman and Wegmans Food Markets for their continued commitment to the LPGA, and look forward to working closely with them while concurrently continuing our discussions with potential long-term partners for the LPGA Championship,” stated LPGA Acting Commissioner Marty Evans.

“It is an honor for Wegmans to be Presenting Sponsor for the 2010 LPGA Championship and also to bring a major championship event to Locust Hill Country Club and the Rochester community. It was my Grandfather’s dream to host a major LPGA Championship event in Rochester. We will work on his behalf to make the 2010 LPGA Championship the best ever. The tournament proceeds from the 2010 LPGA Championship will continue to benefit the United Way of Greater Rochester’s “Graduation is the Goal Fund,” stated Colleen Wegman, President of Wegmans Food Markets.

“We want to thank Locust Hill Country Club and its membership for their continued support. The LPGA players have always viewed The Wegmans LPGA at Locust Hill as one of the premier stops on the LPGA Tour. To have the opportunity to play a major championship at Locust Hill Country Club is very exciting for the LPGA players, sponsors, volunteers and fans,” stated Jerry
