ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -The Locust Hill golf course in suburban Rochester will host the LPGA Championship next June, with supermarket chain Wegmans replacing McDonald's as sponsor of the season's second major.
Newly named the LPGA Championship Presented by Wegmans, the $2.25 million tournament will be held from June 24 to June 27 at Locust Hill in the suburb of Pittsford. The course has been home to the Wegmans LPGA, which will return in 2011.
The championship is one of four majors on the LPGA Tour.
The announcement was made Wednesday.
McDonald's has been involved with the event since it was founded as the McDonald's Kids Classic in 1981.
