Bivens on LPGA's new contract

LPGA Tour commissioner Carolyn F. Bivens announced today that the tour will return to an event in Los Angeles in addition to a five-year broadcast rights contract with J Golf, which has exclusive rights within Korea. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but I just talked to her via phone and she said it was the biggest contract in LPGA history.
``This is an important day,'' Bivens said. ``I do believe it's historic. It's the largest contract signed in the history of the LPGA. It speaks a lot about the traction that the LPGA is getting in the global marketplace.''
