LPGA commissioner Mike Whan unveiled a 2017 tour schedule Wednesday that features a $4.35 million (4.1 million euros) prize money boost and more tournaments than the 2016 campaign. There will be four new LPGA events but three others that will not return from this year for 34 tournaments in all plus the Solheim Cup US-Europe women's team showdown with a record total purse of $67.35 million. In all, 11 of 30 returning events will raise prize money offerings, including four of the five women's golf majors.
