The PGA Tour is making key management changes within the organization, according to an internal memo obtained by Golfweek. Most notably, David Pillsbury, Ty Votaw and Rick George, three of the leading contenders to succeed Tim Finchem as commissioner, received additional responsibilities. Ross Berlin, a fourth candidate, also returns to the Tour later this month after a stint at William Morris Agency as Michelle Wie's agent. His return to the Tour was announced last month but his duties were undisclosed.

ADT Championship winner Julieta Granada doesn't forget, and not just because her mother, Rosa, has been carrying her bag all these years and not just because her father, Alejandro, is the one who once upon a time sent them off together to chase the little girl's prodigious potential. They are from Paraguay, which is where Alejandro still works on one of the South American country's very few golf courses -- six is his daughter's best guess -- as a greenskeeper.

If you asked all 32 players in the ADT Championship field, you probably would have gotten 32 different answers on how the LPGA Tour should change the format in the event that offers the richest prize ($1 million) in women's golf history. But there was almost total agreement on another major issue: How players qualify for this elite tournament. The players say the points system has to be - and almost everyone used the same word -- tweaked.

Isabelle Beisiegel says the LPGA's exemption policy is unfair. The number of medical extensions granted by the LPGA Tour has whittled down the number of full-time cards available at next week's final stage of qualifying school. Only 15 exempt cards will be up for grabs at LPGA International, compared to 24 last year and 30 in 2004. Beisiegel feels she deserves one of those medical extensions after a year in which she had her thyroid removed in March after being diagnosed with Grave's Disease.
