Sometimes opportunity is all that is required for the indomitable heart to go perform unbelievable tasks. Almost fifty years ago, holding a golfing challenge for women would have been a wishful thought. However the support of illustrious brands like Rolex has not only changed the way the game has been perceived but also opened new doors for women everywhere. Recognized for its superlatively crafted watches, Rolex has been sponsoring a number of sporting events and lending extra support to the development of women. The purpose of such an ambitious vision that Rolex embarks upon is to bring about a combined development of humanity towards excellence through determination and perseverance.
LPGA or Ladies Professional Golfing Association is one of the most eminent golfing bodies in the world. Founded in 1950 LPGA has traversed a long way and with the support of Rolex from 1980 onwards it has been able to bring about world class golfing events for women. Over the past two decades not only has the LPGA brought about a number of golfing challenges but is has also a lot of money for charitable purposes. The LPGA has become a prestigious golfing body that supports talent and remarkable ability in the sport of golf. The 2009 edition of the LPGA tour is turning out to be one of the most international events in women’s golf.
A total of 122 golfers will be participating in the golfing challenges this year. Representing 27 different countries, the players at the 2009 LPGA tournaments are here to battle for personal glory as well as recognition for their respective countries. A total of seven players are representing Canada this year at the LPGA.
The line up includes Lorie Kane who is leading the pack with a total of four LPGA victories while another Canadian talent Dawn Coe-Jones has a total of three LPGA victories to her name. The other skilled players representing Canada are A.J. Eathorne, Alena Sharp, and Angela Buzminski along with two rookie players Samantha Richdale and Jessica Shepley.
Canada has its hopes pinned down on veteran golfers Lorie Kane and Dawn Coe-Jones although the rest of the players that are participating this year are quite skilled and could easily pose a threat to the top brass. Hoping to repeat their success the Canadian LPGA victors will be putting forward their best abilities and tactical approach to clinch the top prize and the title at the LPGA golfing events. Expectations are riding high on the rookie players as well who through their past performances have caught the imagination of the Canadian public. Standing shoulder to shoulder with other top players, Canadian golfers will have to put in greater effort and better performances in order to lay claim to the title of the best golfer at the LPGA golfing events.
Rolex is proud to support an eminent golfing body like LPGA which in turn provides women of the world with numerous opportunities to shine and excel in the sport of golfing. Hoping to claim the to award the players from Canada are utilizing all their talent to make the best of this opportunity.
