Golf-LPGA event in China postponed due to 'date conflict'

July 23 (Reuters) - The Reignwood Pine Valley LPGA Classic
in China has been postponed due to "a date conflict" and will
not take place in Beijing in October, the LPGA Tour announced on
Thursday.
The event had been scheduled from October 1-4.
However, the Tour said the decision would not impact the
long-term future of the tournament, with an extension of the
agreement being finalised for two more years, beginning in 2016.
"While we're certainly disappointed that we will not be in
Beijing this Fall, we're excited that Reignwood is committed to
this wonderful international Reignwood LPGA Classic event for
two more years," said LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan.
This is not the first time the LPGA has accommodated the
needs of a tournament facing a challenging date conflict in
order to secure a longer term partnership, the Tour said in a
statement.
Asked by Reuters for further details about the date
conflict, LPGA chief communications officer Kraig Kann replied:
"There are a number of factors at play that ultimately make this
year's date a conflict situation.
"I don't know all the details about it as Mike is working
closely -- and privately -- with our Chinese partners. He is not
able to share more than that.
"Sure, we are disappointed but want to be good partners with
our sponsor and we are glad to be working on a long term
extension and excited about the future of this event."
The postponement of the Reignwood Pine Valley LPGA Classic
leaves the 2015 LPGA schedule with just one event in China, the
Oct 29-Nov. 1 Blue Bay LPGA at Hainan Island.
The Blue Bay will be part of a five-week LPGA Asian swing
that will also include tournaments in Malaysia, South Korea,
Taiwan and Japan.
