LPGA tour players learned of the 2010 schedule in a players' meeting Tuesday night with new Commissioner Michael Whan, who will assume his duties in January. Players were asked not to divulge details of the schedule, which was officially announced Wednesday at the Sugar Land City Hall.

The LPGA Tour Championship, the final event of the season, begins Thursday at the Houstonian Golf and Country Club.

A 24th event is expected to be added in South Korea, but it does not have a date, sponsor or golf course secured as of yet.

Also, the LPGA has secured Wegmans as its sponsor for the 2010 LPGA Championship, which will be played at Locust Hill in Pittsford, N.Y., suburban Rochester. Wegmans replaces longtime sponsor McDonald's.

The tour was slated to play 31 tournaments this year before events in China, Orlando, Hawaii and Alabama were canceled when companies pulled sponsorship because of economic woes. Several long-standing tournaments this year, including stops in Corning, N.Y., and Kingsmill, Va., will not be back in 2010.

In July, when Marty Evans was named acting commissioner following a players revolt that ousted Carolyn Bivens, only nine tournaments were under contract for the 2010 season.
