Queensland’s Cassie Porter is in line for an LPGA Tour card in 2025 following a stellar season on the Epson Tour in 2024 in which she currently stands in 11th place in the Race for the Card standings.
At the completion of this weekend’s Epson Tour Championship in Indian Wells in California, 15 LPGA Tour cards for next season will be handed out and Porter is all but assured of gaining one of them.
The Sydney-born but Sunshine Coast raised Porter, in her second Epson Tour season, has recorded a win and three other top tens and she looks certain to join Minjee Lee, Hannah Green and co at the highest level of the women’s game.

Joining Porter will be New Zealander Fiona Xu, a former Australian and New Zealand Amateur Champion who is currently in 5th place in the Race for the Card standings following a season which saw her with one win, a runner-up finish and one other top ten.
Aucklander Xu, is in her rookie season on the Epson Tour, and just as she had done during her amateur career is making quite an impression.
Also in the field for this week’s event is New Zealander Amelia Garvey who would need to win this week to earn one of the 15 cards up for grabs.
