Yani Tseng gleder seg til den nye turneringen som kommer neste sommer - i juli 2014.

25.01 LPGA:
32 kvinner og 8 land møtes i ny match
LPGA har nå kommet med en helt nye match-turnering; International Crown.

Her skal 8 land stille med 4 spillere over fire dager. Hensikten er å kåre den beste golfnasjonen.

Det blir 1.6 millioner dollar i potten og hver av de fire på det vinnende laget får 100.000 dollar hver.

Dette sier LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan:
- At the LPGA, we celebrate great players from all over the world on a weekly basis, but this is the first time we’ll pit country versus country for global bragging rights. Only countries that have produced the best female teams can compete and only four players from any one country will be invited. The International Crown will take women’s golf to the next level and allow fans to rally behind their homelands. In sports, there is simply nothing greater than wearing your nation’s flag, fans singing your national anthem, and bringing the CROWN home.

Den første turneringen skal spilles 21. - 27. juli på Caves Valley Golf Club i Owings Mills, Maryland, ikke langt fra Baltimore. To år senere går turen til Rich Harvest Farms i Sugar Grove, Illinois som for øvrig hadde Solheim Cup i 2009.


Her er kriteriene for å være med (fra LPGA):

Eight teams based on cumulative Rolex Rankings of each country’s top four players at the conclusion of the 2013 CME Group Titleholders

Four players from each country based on Rolex Rankings at date to be determined.

Nyheten kom på golfmessen i Orlando. De kvalifiserte lagene per i dag er: Sør-Korea, USA, Japan, Sverige, Australia, Taiwan, Spanoa og England.

Formatet:
The format of the International Crown will feature three days of Four Ball matches wherein countries will be seeded into two brackets with four countries in either bracket. Each country will play every other country in their bracket over the course of the first three rounds to determine which five countries will advance to Sunday singles play. All points from the Four Ball matches will carry over to Sunday’s matches where each country will play a singles match against every other country. The total cumulative points for the four days of competition will be used to determine the overall champion.

Dette sier verdens beste spiller Yani Tseng:

- It’s like preparing for the Olympics. In Taiwan and in Asia, we don’t have a team event like this. This is a good opportunity for us to play for our countries. It’s really going to be awesome. Right now, we have three Taiwanese players that play fulltime on the LPGA Tour. Hopefully in the next two years, we can improve our junior program and get more Taiwanese players on the LPGA. This tournament will really help us with that goal.”


Det hele minner litt om Dunhill Cup-turneringen for noen år siden på St. Andrews.
