The new laws clamping down on tobacco advertising and sponsorship are already beginning to bite. The du Maurier Classic, one of the LPGA tour’s four major championships, may die because of the new legislation. The 1997 Classic will happen between 31 July and 3 August at Glen Abbey, Oakville, in Ontario, but officials say that plans for the 1998 event have been suspended in the light of the new legislation. Other events that are understood to be in financial crisis as a result of the new legislation include the Montreux International Jazz Festival and the Montreal Grand Prix.
