	Augusta Georgia: sports@ugusta: Tourney being called `unofficial fifth major' 11/17/97
		LPGA Tour commissioner Jim Ritts paid tribute to the legacy of the Women's Titleholders Golf Championship in Augusta and hinted that the revived tournament of the same name in Daytona Beach, Fla., may become one of the four women's major championships one day.

		Votaw says the LPGA contacted the Titleholders Association during the planning stages of the new tournament but shared the feeling early that it would be a stretch to recreate the Titleholders out of an event with no history.
		Titleholders Association president Bill Bottomley agrees that a resurrected Titleholders championship would have "to be in the right place and have some longevity" to earn the Titleholders distinction.
		Eventually, the new Augusta event may move from September to late spring as early as 2002, although Votaw says he won't schedule it "too close to the Masters." A date change would give the LPGA three consecutive tournaments in the Southeast.
