The LPGA Tour Bank of Hope Founders Cup in Phoenix will be March 16-19 at Wildfire Golf Club at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

Lorena Ochoa will be playing in her LPGA Tour event in Mexico, but only for an exhibition.

Ochoa had said Sunday at the Mexico Championship that she would be playing the Lorena Ochoa Match Play on May 4-7, and that it would be her first time playing her tournament since 2012.

Because she did not have 10 full years on the LPGA Tour, she was not eligible for the LPGA Hall of Fame.

Because of a change in the voting process for the World Golf Hall of Fame it is now done by a committee instead of large panel that included golf writers Ochoa was selected for induction this year.

Ochoa compiled her 27 LPGA Tour victories in a six-year span, including two majors the 2007 Women’s British Open and the 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship.

The developmental tour for the LPGA Tour will for the first time show Sunday’s final round live at 1 p.m.
