2007 women's British Open for St Andrews
The 2007 women's British Open golf tournament will be held at St Andrews and will be the first women's major to be taking place on the Old Course.
The women's British Open, which takes place from 2-5 August, is in an LPGA Tour schedule and features a minimum of 35 events with a record prize money of nearly £29m.
In the meantime, the LPGA Tour will be the first major Tour to test golfers for drugs from the 2008 season.
LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens explained: "We've no evidence of performance-enhancing drug use by our players but recognise the need to have a programme in place.
"We will work to establish a policy to focus on the protection of the health and safety of our members and ensure no-one has an artificial advantage."
Carolyn Bivens was excited about the prospects for next season and she added: "This year has showcased an emergence of young stars and a re-emergence of dominant veterans," she said.
