Taiwan’s Swinging Skirts to sponsor LPGA tournament in San Francisco (2014/03/11)

Taiwan’s Swinging Skirts non-profit organization is the title sponsor of a new LPGA tournament in San Francisco. When play begins next month professional and amateur female Taiwanese golfers will have the chance to compete against some of the best golfers in the world. 

For the first time in four years, the LPGA Tour will return to San Francisco for the LPGA Swinging Skirts Classic. Setting this event apart is that the title sponsor is from Taiwan.

Another amazing fact is that it’s not just the first Taiwan-sponsored professional sporting event in the US, but also the first time a non-profit is the main sponsor of an LPGA event.

Wang Cheng-sung
Swinging Skirts Taiwan Chairman 
We have no business interest in this Swinging Skirts competition. We are simply undertaking this for the social good.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee attended a press conference to announce the event. Yani Tseng has signed on as a headline player. She will be joined by dozens of professional and amateur Taiwanese golfers who will compete against top international competitors. 

The event begins on April 24 at the Lake Merced Golf Club in the San Francisco Bay Area.
