MEXICO CITY (AP) – Lorena Ochoa will be playing in her LPGA Tour event in Mexico, but only for an exhibition.

Ochoa had said Sunday at the Mexico Championship that she would be playing the Lorena Ochoa Match Play on May 4-7, and that it would be her first time playing her tournament since 2012.

Instead, she will be playing in Hall of Fame exhibitions during the weekend of the tournament.

Her brother, Alejandro Ochoa, said she did not want to be specific about her participation when speaking to a small group of reporters at Chapultepec Golf Club because the LPGA Tour had not publicized the Hall of Fame matches and his sister did not want to speak ahead of any announcement.

The LPGA Tour is expected to reveal details of the exhibition this week.
