The Evian Masters in France will become the fifth major on the LPGA Tour starting in 2013.
"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.
Riboud said refurbishment plans are scheduled to start in December, but that the tournament will be played as usual next year, before renovation continues in September 2012.
