BROKEN ARROW — The LPGA Tour will not be visiting Tulsa in 2009 for the first time in eight years after it was unable to find a replacement for bankrupt title sponsor SemGroup.

The LPGA has held an event in the Tulsa area since 2001, when the event was sponsored by Williams and held at the Tulsa Country Club. It moved to Cedar Ridge Country Club in suburban Broken Arrow in 2004 and was sponsored by hotelier John Q. Hammons for three years before SemGroup took over as the title sponsor in 2007.

Tournament management company Octagon hopes to bring a pro-am or another special event featuring LPGA players to keep a tour presence in the Tulsa area this year.

Yep, when you put all your bets on the dead horse, you rarely win. You would have to hope all the other horses are disqualified and your dead horse is the only one left. But they may require you to drag the corpse across the finish line with a tractor. Now that is the Sem Group!
