Women's major championships
Women's golf doesn't have a globally accorded adjust of majors.([url=http://www.igolfyoo.com/goods-469-Callaway+2009+LEGACY+Driver.do]Callaway LEGACY Driver[/url]) The list of majors acknowledged by the ascendant women's tour, the LPGA Tour in the U.S., has changed a few times over the years, with the last change in 2001. Like the PGA Tour, the (U.S.) LPGA[32] has four majors: the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the LPGA Championship, the U.S. Women's Open and the Women's British Open. Only the last of these is also accepted by the Ladies European Tour.([url=http://www.igolfyoo.com/goods-583-Callaway+Big+Bertha+Diablo+Fairway+Wood.do]Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Fairway Wood[/url]) The other case that it recognises as a major is the Evian Masters, which is not considered a major by the LPGA (but is co-sanctioned as a regular LPGA event). Nonetheless, the implication of this is bounded, as the LPGA is far more ascendant in women's golf than the PGA Tour is in mainstream men's golf. For example, the BBC has been known to use the U.S. definition of "women's majors" without qualifying it. Also, the Ladies' Golf Union, the administration for women's golf in the UK and Republic of Ireland, states on its official website that the Women's British Open is "the only Women's Major to be played outside the U.S." For many years, the Ladies European Tour tacitly admitted the ascendance of the LPGA Tour by not programing any of its own events to battle with the three LPGA majors played in the U.S., but that altered in 2008, with the LET scheduling an event antonym the LPGA Championship. The second-richest women's tour, the LPGA of Japan Tour, does not recognise any of the U.S. LPGA or European majors as it has its own set of majors (historically three, since 2008 four). However, these events attract little notice outside Japan.([url=http://www.igolfyoo.com/goods-602-TaylorMade+09+Burner+Irons+Set.do]TaylorMade Burner Irons[/url])
