Thanks for posting Remy, you beat me to it. Here's a bit of text from our very own local paper, the Union-Tribune:

---------------------
The LPGA Tour is returning to San Diego this year with a premier tournament to be played at Torrey Pines.

City officials and representatives from International Management Group will announce this morning that the $1 million Samsung World Championship will be played Sept. 17-20 on the Torrey Pines South Course.

The 72-hole event, sanctioned by the LPGA and staged by IMG, will feature 20 of the best players in women's golf, including 2008 Samsung champion Paula Creamer and the tour's biggest star, Mexican Lorena Ochoa.

“Torrey Pines is held in such high regard, and this is a tournament with the best players on the LPGA Tour, so it's an attractive fit that works for everybody,” said Torrey Gane, the tournament director from IMG who moved into a San Diego office recently.

We have plenty of empty office space here in SD, so finding a spot wasn't a problem for Torrey Gane.
(perfect name for it as well).

Put it in your calendars you SoCal'ers.

Bummer.

I didn't know about it either until I saw the big sign hanging on the clubhouse wall, sitting on the patio with my wife waiting for dinner to be served. What a view from there!! (1st tees TP North and South, etc etc). Decent grub as well.

It has been around for 29 years. Since 2000 it has been played in CA at a few different courses, except for 2003 when it was played in TX.
