Golfweek is reporting that the Founders Cup is losing Cognizant as its sponsor. The tour had already gone without a title sponsor at this season's Portland Classic.

Golfweek also reported that over 275 current and former female professional golfers signed a letter calling for the repeal of all policies and rules that allow biological males to compete in women’s events.

Annika IS the GOAT of the LPGA and a wonderful spokesperson for the sport. To say she proves that you can have it all is a little bit misleading though, she retired and THEN had her family, the tour grind was over and she really didn't start the business end until her kids were in school, she made compromises like all women do. Women have enough pressure on them from society, see also Lexi Thompson! Lexi has caught all kinds of heat from announcing her retirement because she wants to have a life and a family! See also, Gerina Pillar who started a family and tried to go back to to those women in the 50's who told their husbands that they wanted to go out into the workforce and get a job, but reassuring the husband that they would continue to do everything he was accustomed to, BITE ME!!
