PrintFor what it's worth - while waiting for the rain to stop (again) in Rochester, I stumbled across this item from NJ.Com/Star-Ledger:
Speaking at a media day for the upcoming U.S. Junior Amateur Championships (which will be held at his golf club next month), Trump received his first major championship offer: the LPGA Championship.
He turned it down.
"They came here, they wanted to be here and I turned them down," Trump said. "They wanted it for more than one year and I didn't want to commit the course for more than one year."
Not that I regard Donald Trump as an unimpeachable source but here again we have a report of the LPGA brass insisting on their terms and coming up empty.

Sounds like the Donald is too busy lobbying the USGA to negotiate seriously with the LPGA.

Good
He’s low-class. And, if he was only offering one year, that is not worth it.
