Sybase is proud to announce we will be sponsoring a new LPGA tournament for 2010. The Sybase Match Play Championship runs May 20-23 at Hamilton Farm Golf Club, a private club situated on a historic country estate in Gladstone, NJ.

An official LPGA event, the Sybase Match Play Championship will invite 64 of the top LPGA Tour professionals to compete for a $1.5-million purse. Matches will be held in a bracket-style format. The match play format creates the excitement of head to head golf that is not found in traditional tournament stroke play.

The champion of this inaugural event will take home $375,000, which is currently tied for the third largest payout on the LPGA Tour in 2010. Golf Channel will broadcast Round Two through the Finish, worldwide Friday through Sunday.

Sybase has had a long-standing partnership with the LPGA Tour. It previously was the title sponsor of the Sybase Classic from 2001 through 2009.

In addition to tournament play, Sybase will host several activities, social events, and business meetings for special guests throughout the week.
