The return of the Kinoshita Pearl Classic won’t be this weekend at Kapolei, as initially scheduled.

The second LPGA Legends event in Hawaii was called off Friday. Players were told the money was not delivered by the agreed deadline, which had been extended more than once.

"We were having some challenges and, unfortunately, the tourney is now delayed," Legends spokesperson Megan Gardner said in an e-mail.

Rosie Jones won last year’s inaugural event, and the $50,000 first-place prize from the $350,000 purse.

The Legends Web site listed an improved field this year that included Jones and LPGA Hall of Famers Betsy King, Amy Alcott and Pat Bradley. Former University of Hawaii player Cindy Rarick also had committed and others included Jan Stephenson, Jane Blalock, Hollis Stacy, Sherri Turner and Sherri Steinhauer.

Most of the players had flights and rooms arranged. Many will come over anyway, for a vacation, said Rarick, who canceled her trip Friday.

King, who called Kinoshita "the best Legends event in terms of money," changed her flight from Oahu to Maui. The first of her 34 LPGA wins was the 1984 Women’s Kemper Open at Kaanapali.

The Legends Tour is the LPGA’s version of the PGA’s Champions Tour. It has more than 100 members and has played for nearly $10 million in its nine seasons. It had six tournaments scheduled this year, including Kinoshita.

Ching, Toreros to compete on Kauai

San Diego, with former Manoa Cup champion Alex Ching, is coming over to defend its title in the third Kauai Collegiate Invitational, hosted by the University of Hawaii at Puakea Golf Course.

The tournament runs Sunday to Tuesday, with a College-Am on Saturday. Play begins at 8 a.m. each day.

The Toreros are ranked 26th. They won by 30 shots last year with a three-day total of 35 under par. Ching, a Punahou graduate who is now a junior, finished second individually at 10-under 206. Joseph Harrison, the "noncounting" sixth man on the USD team, beat him by a shot.

Among the others teams in the 10-team field are Hawaii-Hilo, Hawaii Pacific, British Columbia and Osaka Gakuin.
