The Evian Masters in France will become the fifth major on the LPGA Tour starting in 2013.
"In 2013 you will return to the fifth and final major on the LPGA Tour," commissioner Mike Whan said Wednesday, adding that it is "a new page in women's golf history."
Tournament chairman Franck Riboud said the tournament will be moved to the second week of September in 2013. The Evian Masters began in 1994, when Sweden's Helen Alfredsson won the event.
"It will be the last one of the year and we are very proud of that," Riboud said, adding that the tournament will change its name and be called the Evian Championship when it becomes a major.
