DAYTONA BEACH, FL—The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) announced that RR Donnelley, North America's largest printing and integrated communications services company, will be a new partner, serving as "Official Print Provider of the LPGA." The Tour will utilize RR Donnelley's expertise to develop cost-effective solutions and programs for the LPGA and its tournaments.

The question is, would such a deal be a violation of this nation's antitrust laws? In a sense, would it also be the best thing to happen to the printing industry in years?
