Is the 30-year-old, $1.5 million Corning Classic being forced off the LPGA tour?

"[The commissioner]'s probably going to like for every purse to be around $2 million real soon, if not next year. I don't know. But some tournaments can't do that. This community cannot be expected to do that."
—SHERRI TURNER

"In my opinion that's not the case. They love us here. Corning Inc. has really stepped up and helped with the purse and has become very involved. And they have every intention of continuing."
—LAURA DIAZ
