This weeks Zurich Classic team event rekindles conversation about the PGA Tour/LPGA Strategic Alliances announced aim to bring the men and women together for an event.What is the state of those plans?Well, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahans and LPGA commissioner Mike Whans original idea of having the women join the men in the PGA Tours calendar-year opener in Hawaii isnt going to happen. That was taken off the table a month ago, when the LPGA announced it was creating its own winners-only event as its new season opener next year.Originally, both Jay and I thought the PGA Tours Tournament of Champions might be the best option for a joint PGALPGA tour event, Whan wrote GolfChannel.com in an email. However, while we were just beginning discussions on that concept, we met people from Diamond Resorts International, and the Diamond Resorts LPGA Tournament of Champions quickly took flight. Bottom line, the Diamond Resorts event in Florida in January is a perfect fit for the LPGA schedule and (our current off-season).That doesnt mean the strategic alliance isnt still working on something. It remains unclear what kind of formats they will ultimately pursue.We still have significant interest in developing joint events, Whan said. We have a team made up of representatives from both organizations who are vetting different approaches.Personally, I dont care if its a full-field official event, some kind of mixed team, or a limited-number, made-for-TV event as any/all would create significant fan, media, and player interest/excitement.
