LPGA cancels Mexico event

LPGA cancels Mexico event

Published Feb. 1, 2011 12:00 a.m. ET

The LPGA has postponed the Tres Marias Championship to 2012 because of drug violence in the area. The tour’s security firm deemed Morelia, Mexico, too risky.

While the tournament contract goes through ’12, an LPGA official said they would need to see significant improvement before returning.

The event was slated for April 21-24. There’s now a three-week gap in April between the Kraft Nabisco and the Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile, Ala.
