The KLPGA needs to get tough and require Korean players to remain on Tour for a minimum of five years--at the height of the player's career. If the Korean Zombie can serve in the military for 3 1/2 years then IGC, HJK, SHP and the others need to help maintain the KLPGA's credibility.

I'm surprised they posted the whole schedule so early...they usually wait until the last minute. I guess last year's two Vietnam events are history. I've never been aware of who the KLPGA boss is, nor did I know that the position has been vacant for a year. You can't miss the JLPGA commish, Hiromi Kobayashi, an ex-player who is quite visible.

I'm not sure about that. If you pull up the 2016 tournaments on the KLPGA website, the KLPGA vs. LPGA is not listed, which tells me that the KLPGA didn't own it. There are two open weeks after the ADT in November and I'd be surprised if one of them wasn't filled with a silly season event later on.

That's possible. They have never listed the Queen of Queens event, which usually takes place the week after the season ends (this is a limited field event featuring the top point earners in a year-long competition). It's possible the ING Championship is also that type of event.
