The Lorena Ochoa Foundation have revealed that the first of the $1 million Lorena Ochoa Invitation Golf Tournaments will be held at Guadalajara Country Club in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The women’s golf event will take place between November 13th-16th 2008, with the 36 participants comprised of the top five women in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, the top 26 on the circuit as well as five women handpicked by the organizing committee.
As the tournament is part of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Calendar, it will also count towards the Official Money List and the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings. The format for the tournament will be a four round, 72-hole stroke play match.
The $1 million prize money is being provided by Mexican companies Corona and Banamex, whilst the LPGA and Ochoa Sports Management are also backing the tournament. Lorena Ochoa joins Annika Sorenstam as the only golfer to have hosted LPGA events.
Ochoa enjoyed a successful season last year, winning the 2007 best player title, and currently leads the women’s earnings table and world’s golf ranking.
