Morgan is an exceptionally talented young player who will be a terrific addition to the 2006 LPGA Tour. She presents a unique combination of academic and golf achievements, and I am impressed with Morgan's abilities.

Deb has been an integral part of the LPGA Tour for nearly 20 years, both on and off the golf course. She is well respected as a competitor, which shows in her stellar record, but also as a player deeply committed to the future growth and success of the LPGA. Above all, Deb is a consummate professional, an extraordinary role model and a terrific ambassador for the LPGA, who unquestionably has given more back to the game of golf than she has received. I am thrilled that Deb's future plans include the LPGA, and on behalf of the LPGA congratulate her on such an incredible run on the LPGA Tour.

It will be a cross-sports forum to look at whether a girl under 18 can handle tour life, ... We want our players to be out here for anything from 10 to 25 years. We don't want them burning white hot for a year or two and then flaming out.

She was a pretty happy young lady. She responded to it a little bit like an early Christmas gift. It's always nice to be able to give somebody nice news.

If what we find in the current policy is not serving our young women and giving them the best opportunity to compete for a long time, then we would change it. But let's learn all that's out there first.

They did a terrific job. It's a nice addition.
