message: I redesigned the Tournament Table to change it from an HTML format to Wikitable format. I"ve been meaning to do this since I made the table back in February. At the same time, I adjusted some Tournament names to match the official names listed on [lpga.com].  The only difference is that I dropped all of the "presented by Coca-Cola/Pepsi/Lincoln Mercury," etc. title portons.  These added sponsor mentions wreack havoc with the grid and I think as long as we're consistent with the naming convention, we're good to go.  Sponsors are mentioned when they are included elsehwere in the title, for example "Sybase Classic" (but not "Sybase Classic Presented by Lincoln Mercury").   I haven't put in the color coding for ADT categories yet.  If people want this, we/you can do it.  I'm not sure how useful or attractive it was. Crunch 17:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have restored the brackets so that this table is consistent with those for other tours. I don't mind whether the colors are there or not, but if you do restore them, maybe pastel shades would be a better choice. Golfcam 23:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it looks terrible on the tables for the other tours, as do their HTML tables. I put it back.  Why copy a bad thing? Crunch 19:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have restored the standard version. I agree with Golfcam, and as no one has ever amended any of the other tables, you appear to be in a minority of one Crunch. The gray just looks odd and disconcerting, more like an annotation than data, but I instinctively know what the numbers in brackets mean. Please concede gracefully to avoid wasting more time.

replies: text: Thanks for the command to "concede." Way to win friends on Wikipedia!  I think putting everything in one color with endless "brackets" or parentheses as they're known in America, adds clutter and confusion.  The number of total tournaments won is hardly an important number and putting it in gray sets it aside from the other more important information. This is kind of a basic element of design.  Also, putting it in gray takes away the need for the parentheses. You just have the number.  By the way, there is no 'standard." However, not worth the fight.  Crunch 23:05, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a standard - every other tour is done the same way. These numbers are really useful context as not everyone is an expert on the players. It's a good piece of added value that lists in the media don't give you, and it shows that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not just a results service. It looks better with brackets. It's the natural way to present this king of info, eg someone has just started adding notes on the number of PGA Tournaments players won each year in just this way. You may think your way is better, but the truth is that it is worse. Golfcam 02:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no "truth," just your opinion and mine.  We'll give it some time and eventually someone else may come along and redesign the entire table. Deal with it. Crunch 07:03, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tournament table redesign 

message: I replaced the 2006 schedule with the 2007 schedule and moved the 2006 LPGA Tour to its own article. I also added a new section to this article that summarizes historical tour stats.  It might be good to have a Wikipedia infobox for this but I don't have the skills.  I left the categories: points, global group, winner, etc. for the 2007 schedule, although I'm not sure if the designation "points" is still being applied.  Maybe someone knows more than me. The official LPGA schedule only shows winner events and unofficial events. Is it possible that the LPGA is still figuring this out?  Crunch 21:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Four of the tournaments held outside North America are co-sanctioned with other professional tours."  At least one more exists but does not appear in the list - the Australian Open (Feb 2013) occurs in Australia and is co-sanctioned with the European and Australian tours. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Ladies_European_Tour for verification.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.60.91.148 (talk) 04:59, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Why was the 2015 Tour results section removed?  I understand that it also exists at 2015 LPGA Tour with more detail.  Why was the shorter version removed from this article?  If the decision is to include none of the 2015-specific information from this article, then the 2015 Money List leaders table should also be moved to 2015 LPGA Tour.  --Crunch (talk) 22:58, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The tables that were here and at year specific were different from 2011 to 2013 with the Titleholders qualifiers. Without that difference, there is no reason to maintain two identical tables. I think the money list should be moved to the 2015 article as well. Tewapack (talk) 02:10, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with Tewapack. They should be in the 2015 article....William 10:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

The New York Times supports a 1949 starting date though later in the year:
* September 14, 1949 - "PRO GROUP FORMED FOR WOMEN'S GOLF; Organization to Conduct Open Tourney Sept. 22-25 -- Miss Berg Elected President" Formation of a Ladies' Professional Golf Association of America, with Miss Patty Berg as its first president, was announced yesterday by Fred Corcoran, former tournament director of the Men's P. G. A.
* April 13, 1950 - "BAUER SISTERS JOIN RANKS OF PRO GOLF; GOLFING SISTERS ENTER PROFESSIONAL FOLD" The Bauer sisters, Marlene and Alice, announced yesterday that they would no longer play amateur golf. Instead they have decided to join the professional tournament group. Today the LPGA lists Alice Bauer and Marlene Bauer Hagge as being one of the 13 founding members.
I did not update the article to note a 1949 starting date as some research is needed to discover the list of tournaments and to document who the first six players were.  We know they included Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Patty Berg but who were the other four? The book about Zaharias I cited above mentions Peggy Kirk Bell as participating in the early years but she joined the LPGA in 1950 and also is not listed among the LPGA's 13 founders.  --Marc Kupper|talk 10:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
