LPGA rule challenged
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A California state senator is seeking a legal opinion to determine whether the LPGA Tour’s language requirement for players violates state or federal law.
Sen. Leland Yee is upset about a policy that requires players to speak English starting in 2009. The rule is effective immediately for new players.
Veteran members will be suspended if they can’t pass an oral English test.
