The LPGA Tour plans to work with title partner Fir Hills and golf legend Seri Pak to explore rescheduling options once the payment issue is resolved. The organization also continues its search for a permanent commissioner following Mollie Marcoux Samaan's departure in late 2024, with Liz Moore serving as interim commissioner.
