About the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup
RR Donnelley, the LPGA and its players truly confirmed 'Why It's Different Out Here' in 2011, making golf history by not only remembering the women that made the LPGA a reality, but also by "paying-it-forward" and playing entirely for charity and the expansion of the Girls Golf program," LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan said. "Next season, with RR Donnelley's vision, we will prove that the Founders Cup sequel is even better than the original."
