The LPGA Tour’s 2009 Samsung World Championship will be played on the South Course at San Diego’s Torrey Pines. The limited-field tournament will be held September 16-20. This will mark the second time that an LPGA Tour event will be played at Torrey Pines dating back to 1983, and the first time the Tour visits the San Diego area in over 15 years. Last season, the Samsung World Championship was staged at the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links in Northern California. Paula Creamer, born in nearby Mountain View, earned one of the most significant titles of her career with a one-stroke victory over Song-Hee Kim. Celebrating its 29th year in 2009, the Samsung World Championship is a 72-hole, stroke-play tournament featuring an elite 20-player field that includes the winners of the season's four LPGA majors — the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the LPGA Championship, the U.S. Women's Open, and the Women's British Open. The field also includes the previous year's Vare Trophy winner, the LPGA Tour's current money list leader and the Samsung World Championship defending champion. A berth in the field is also awarded by the Championship selection committee to the leading player from the Ladies European Tour (LET), other leading money winners from the LPGA Tour's current year, as well as one sponsor invitation. "We look forward to bringing the best of women's golf to San Diego this fall," said LPGA Tour Commissioner Carolyn F. Bivens. "It has long been our mission to provide our players with the world's best venues — like historic Torrey Pines — on which to showcase their extraordinary skill and talent."
