2023 LPGA Tour cards are up for grabs at this week’s Epson Tour Championship in Daytona Beach in Florida, with the leading ten players on the Epson Tour money list at the completion of this week’s event on their way to the LPGA Tour next season.
Victorian Gabi Ruffels is already guaranteed of a move to the next level courtesy of a magnificent season during which she has won on three occasions and been inside the top 6 on three other occasions.
Ruffels currently leads the money list and is one of three players who are assured of graduation irrespective of this week’s results.
For Queenslander, Robyn Choi, however, she faces an important week in her career. Currently 11th on the money list she is only US$200 behind the 10th place player and will likely need only a top 50 or so from the field of 108 to be assured of heading to the LPGA Tour.
The former University of Colorado golfer has been very consistent this season recording six top tens including a runner-up finish two starts ago.
New Zealand’s Amelia Garvey is currently 33rd on the list and likely needs to win this week to have any chance of gaining higher playing privileges next season and even that might not be enough.
