The LPGA might be on its way back to the East Valley.

Mike Nichols, vice president of tournament business affairs for the LPGA, confirmed Thursday that talks are ongoing to hold the tour’s annual Valley stop at Encanterra Country Club in Queen Creek next March.

“I think it would be premature to be exceedingly optimistic but at the same time I have a certain cautious optimism,” Nichols said.

Nichols said the LPGA also is talking to the Portland, Ore.-based Tournament Golf Foundation, which ran the LPGA event at Papago Golf Course in Phoenix last March and at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club from 2004 through 2008. But Nichols said negotiations with TGF have “yet to reach a conclusive outcome” and characterized discussions with Encanterra as “productive.”
