LAHAINA, Hawaii--(Business Wire)--
Kapalua Land Company, Ltd., a division of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.
(NYSE:MLP), today announced that due to the lack of a title sponsor it is unable
to present the 2009 Kapalua LPGA Classic. The tournament was scheduled for
October 12 - 18, 2009 at The Bay Course in Kapalua Resort. 

"It`s disappointing but a reality in today`s current economic climate that title
sponsorships are difficult to secure. We greatly enjoyed hosting last year`s
event and value our partnership with the LPGA Tour and its players," said Gary
Planos, senior vice president of Resort Operations for Kapalua Land Company. 

Designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane, The Bay Course recently emerged
from a three-year renovation to provide better playability for golfers all of
levels. For more information, contact Gary Planos at (808) 665-9116 or email
