2022 LPGA Season Odds and Ends

In a nutshell -- The new LPGA Commissioner, Mollie, had the option of not enacting a rule change on the driver length being reduced from 48" inches to 46" inches.  The USGA and the R&A wrote the rule so that the individual tours could decide whether to implement it or not.  

 

For all intents and purposes, Brooke Henderson was the only one that played with the 48" driver over the past 5 seasons (on the LPGA and possibly the PGA).  When Mollie opted to enact that rule for the LPGA it primarily affected Brooke and no one else.  This is despite Brooke being the player that never really used the full length of the 48" driver, as everyone knows that she grips down on the club by approximately 2" inches.  That meant it rendered her driver to an effective length of 46" where most of the remaining LPGA players grip the club anyways.  

 

It comes across to many as being mean-spirited on Mollie's part in singling out Brooke and only Brooke.  So hence, the comment about why Brooke really may not feel any allegiance to Mollie.   

 

Of course, the Saudi Aramco series raises a whole new set of issues for the LPGA that transcend this particular issue, and it could compromise the entire LPGA and women's professional golf if there is not thoughtful leadership on the matter.  

 

 

Phil  was probably the only other person seriously messing with a 48" driver at the time, he was hopping on the as much speed as possible train, I think he won the PGA with one? I remember hearing a bunch of other guys using one in testing and practice but most didnt switch as they didnt see enough benefit.

Brooke, Nelly, Lydia, Jessica and many others have never signed up to play MEDIHEAL; it's way before Hurricane Ian.  

 

I thought many of them were, I can't be sure of that, but Brooke I know was on the entry list for this event.

[Hacker76]

My biggest surprise this year has been Thitkul, I remember watching her cry on the 18th a couple of tournaments ago because she was struggling just a bit. The emotions make you really mentally connect with a person you don't even know. Then watch her bounce back these last couple of tournaments is so satisfying to see. 
She has a such a great personality and has a very bright future ahead of her. 🍦

[fredogolfer]

Sounds like NYC is retiring after the BMW event.

[fredogolfer]

[imkirby34]

I hope NYC at least continues to make golf videos for her YT channel.   As you might expect, a lot of fellow LPGA (and KLPGA) players reacted to her announcement on Instagram - Chella Choi, Jessica Korda, Lee6, Su Oh, Inbee, So Yeon, Hye-jin Choi, and Ha-neul Kim, who retired last year.

Has anyone been watching the V199 scramble on YouTube with Inbee, So Yeon, Lee5 and Ha Neul Kim? 

 

I wish it was on NYCs channel because we'd get english subtitles. 

 

There are probably more cameras for this than for a full LPGA tournament.

Alexa Pano's charmed life at Epson Tour may come to an end by next Sunday.  Entering the final week of the season, Alexa is #10 on official money list and she leads #11 by mere $1,076.

What a grind it has been for her. I’ve been tracking her all year and she’s done super well. Actually amazing to jump on tour as a 17 year old. She has been solid, but perhaps not solid enough, the past month or two. Maybe being back on FL grass will help her to a big weekend? She should do well - we’ll see.

 

incredible that after a full season only 3 or 4 players have punched their ticket to the LPGA and the dream is still alive for about 30 others! Will be an exciting event with some happy tears for some. Hoping the Epson Tour finds a way to at least post highlights on a YouTube channel.

Although the fun they're having certainly "translates", I agree that the English subtitles would make it even more enjoyable.  Like that series with Ha Neul, Lee5, and Bo-Mee Lee - both the golf and when they had dinner together.  I remember the dinner one because of NYC's hair - she looked like a completely different person.  Hehe.

Edited October 7, 2022 by imkirby34
Originally put So Yeon instead of Ha Neul.

[iBanesto]

It is a shame Na Yeon Choi couldn't recover her form after her injury.

 

It actually quite amazing how much money she has won on the LPGA given her form dropped completely since mid 2016, she is still 16th all time.

She ended up playing relatively well in Arkansas.

The Epson Tour seems determined to explain as little as possible to the causal fan about how the end-of-season works.  I know that those who finish in the Top 10 get a LPGA tour card.  What about those outside the Top 10? Do they all have to go through the Q Series? Do they get to skip some of it?  If the LPGA/Epson wants more people engaged with their tours, they could do a better job of transparency.

Alexa Pano never has a chance this week at Epson Tour's final tournament of the season; she'll finish outside of #10 and get ready for 2022 Q-Series.

 

The other player born in 2004, Xiaowen Yin, has been LPGA bound for a while.  She'll be the youngest LPGA player by a mile if Alexa doesn't qualify through Q-Series.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. | The Epson Tour annually awards LPGA Tour Membership to the top players on the Epson Tour official money list, and the conclusion of the Epson Tour Championship ushers in the 2022 graduating class.

From 1999-2002, the official qualifying tour of the LPGA handed out three cards. Then from 2003-2007, that number increased to five before 10 cards started being distributed in 2008. Since that inaugural year, 182 players have graduated to the big stage including the top 10 from this season.

Meet the 2022 Epson Tour graduates:

No. 1 Linnea Ström, 25 (Hovas, Sweden) – $119,190

Sunday was Ström’s second Epson Tour graduation. She first earned her card in 2018 but lost it at the end of the 2021 season. It took her less than a full season on the qualifying tour to find her way back to the highest stage.

• Player of the Year
• 2018 Gaelle Truet Rookie of the Year
• Two-time champion: 2018 Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge and 2022 IOA Championship presented by Morongo Casino Resort & Spa
• Six additional top-10 finishes this season
• T4 at the 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open, a career best finish on the LPGA Tour

Ström on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “I’m obviously very excited to have earned my LPGA card back for next year. After really struggling last season, my main goal for this season was to earn my card back, but it was also to find happiness again and enjoy playing golf. I’m extremely proud that I achieved that goal this season.”

No. 2 Xiaowen Yin, 17 (Tianjin, China) – $118,860 
At 17 years, 10 months and 1 day old, Yin is the youngest player to clinch her card through the Epson Tour. The rookie from China earned her first professional wins in consecutive weeks to secure her spot in the LPGA Tour.

• Rookie of the year
• Two-time 2022 champion: FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship and French Lick Charity Classic
• Five additional top-10 finishes
• Finished 24th at the 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur
• Her highest World Amateur Golf Ranking was No. 7

Yin on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “I’m so happy. Like really happy that I get to play the LPGA Tour next year. I’m going to learn a lot from it. I’ve been getting more experience to get ready for my LPGA career. I’ve learned a lot on the Epson Tour, it’s given me a lot of confidence.”

No. 3 Lucy Li, 20 (Redwood Shores, California) – $110,111 
After spending three seasons on the Epson Tour, Li became the first player to mathematically clinch her card for the 2023 LPGA season. Since then, Li has been finding ways to play at the highest level – either through sponsorship exemptions or by Monday qualifying. This week, she was in California playing at the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship.

• Played in six LPGA events this season and carded career-best finish (T4) at the Dana Open presented by Marathon
• Two-time 2022 champion: Carolina Golf Classic presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and the Twin Bridges Championship
• Her highest World Amateur Golf Ranking was #3
• Member of the victorious 2018 Curtis Cup team
• The youngest person to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open at just 11 years old

Li on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “It’s definitely been a big goal of mine for a long time. To finally be able to be out there and compete with the best in the world is very exciting. There’s a pretty big transition from amateur into professional golf and being on the Epson Tour was that pathway for me to make that transition. I think it’s huge for people turning pro.”

No. 4 Kiira Riihijarvi, 25 (Oulu, Finland) – $90,483
Since grabbing her first professional win at Ann Arbor’s Road to the LPGA powered by the A2 Sports Commission, Riihijarvi had bobbled in and out of the top 10 of the Epson Tour Official Money List. She turned up the heat at the end of September and carded two top-10 results to put herself just above the line.

• Six additional top-20 finishes
• Led the tour in greens in regulation (79.6%)
• Champion, 2021 NCAA D2 South Regional
• Her highest World Amateur Golf Ranking was #18
• 28th at the 2021 Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship

Riihijarvi on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “It feels incredible. It's so cool. It feels very surreal. I don't really know what to do with myself right now, but it's really cool.” 

No. 5 Grace Kim, 21 (Sydney, Australia) – $89,720
Less than two months into her first Epson Tour season, Kim captured her first professional win. The 21-year-old set the scoring record at the 2022 IOA Golf Classic presented by LPT Realty with an 18-under par performance, highlighted by a 7-under final round.

• 10 top-20 finishes this season
• Competed as an amateur in the 2018, 2019 and 2020 ISPS Handa Vic Open
• Captured a seven-stroke victory at the 2021 Australian Women’s Amateur
• Became the second Australian to be invited to Augusta National Women’s Amateur in 2021

Kim on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “It's sunk in now, and it’s definitely really cool. I’m just really excited for next year to be amongst my role models. I’m really stoked.”

No. 6 Celine Borge, 24 (Tonsberg, Norway) – $89,710 
Borge has been a member of the Epson Tour since 2019 and has shown marked improvement in the latter half of 2022. Prior to her first professional victory this season and a runner-up finish at the Guardian Championship, her best result was third place at the 2021 Island Resort Championship.

• Champion, 2022 Tuscaloosa Toyota Classic presented by Pepsi
• Seven additional top-20 results this season
• Won the 2016 Irish Girls Stroke Play Championship
• Finished in the top-25 at the 2017 Lalla Aicha Tour School to first earn Ladies European Tour membership as a 2018 rookie

Borge on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “During the season I didn't think too much about the top 10. I wasn't very close either. Last week, I was suddenly in the top 10. Maybe it was good that it was late this season, so I hadn't to think about it a lot.”

No. 7 Gabriella Then, 26 (Rancho Cucamonga, California) – $86,578
The 26-year-old has been on the Epson Tour since 2017. Before the 2022 season, she had only cracked the top-20 twice in her career – both times during her rookie season. This year, Then recorded six top-20 finishes, including her first professional win at the Garden City Charity Classic at Buffalo Dunes

• Played college golf at the University of Southern California
• Ended her career at USC as the Trojans all-time leader in rounds played (145)
• Medalist at the 2021 Final Qualifier for the Ladies European Tour (LET) Qualifying School
• Opened her 2022 campaign on the LET playing the Saudi Ladies International, Joburg Ladies Open and Investec SA Women’s Open

Then on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “I cannot believe I'm freaking here. You know, beginning of last year I literally had nothing. I didn't have status on any tour in the world. Now to have status on the biggest tour in the world, which has been my dream since I was 14 years old is absolutely surreal.”

No. 8 Gina Kim, 22 (Durham, North Carolina) – $82,133
Last year, Kim finished T35 at the 2021 LPGA Q-Series to earn both Epson and LPGA Tour membership for this season. Though she’s played in 12 LPGA events, she’ll use her stellar results in 13 tournaments on the Epson Tour to avoid Q-Series this time around.

• First professional win at the Inova Mission Inn Resort & Club Championship
• Seven additional top-20 results
• Qualified for 2019 U.S. Women’s Open and finished T12 for low amateur honors
• Member of the victorious Team USA at the 2021 Curtis Cup and 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup
• Captured the 2021 ACC Championship individual title with a score of 10-under par, matching Duke’s lowest 54-hole ledger in the event 

Kim on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “It feels amazing, because I managed to get the firsthand experience of what it's like to not have a great status and having to Monday Q into a lot of these LPGA events. So just being able to go out there and have a good foundation to start off, I think it's a huge game changer, so I'm really excited for that.”

No. 9 Yan Liu, 24 (Fujian, China) – $80,139
A member of the Epson Tour since 2020, Liu broke through in 2022 to clinch an LPGA berth in 2023. Through 2020 and 2021, Liu was unable to break into the top-10, but this season Liu was able to capture her first professional victory and push her into the mix.

• Champion, 2022 Four Winds Invitational
• Six additional top-20 results
• Started playing golf at the age of 11
• 32-hole bogey-free streak at the 2022 East Coast Women’s Pro Tour Redtail Women’s Championship

Liu on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “I'm just very excited and hopefully I can play very well next year. But there’s no pressure, I just want to enjoy it.”

No. 10 Hyo Joon Jang, 19 (Seoul, Republic of Korea) – $78,611

Jang joined the top-10 in the final week of competition. Entering the Epson Tour Championship, Jang only needed a solo 53rd finish to advance in the rankings. Instead, she turned in a T11 performance boosting her to No. 10.

• Five top-10 results
• Second on the tour in birdies with 215
• Carded her best performance at the Tuscaloosa Toyota Classic where she shot minus-14 and finished in second place.
• Left Korea when she was 15 to join the International Junior Golf Academy (IJGA) in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida

Jang on earning 2023 LPGA Tour Membership: “I’m speechless. Like I literally have no words right now. It's just so overwhelming because I didn't expect this. I was not giving up, but I just felt like I was going to have to go to Q-Series. As soon as I heard from my friend that I got into top 10, I was just so happy and excited. I would love to go to Korea and talk about it with my family.”

Congrats to Jodi. Sweet Tweet posted by her husband, Adam. Was hoping he was actually in the audience today but guess he's busy. I seriously thought that once Reto tied for the lead, her movements/gait quickened a bit. Not good down the stretch; cost her quite a bit of $$.

 

AND, a Paula Creamer siting! Shot a 66 today.

 

Since Matilda couldn't event make the cut this week, I'm happy to have another Finn to root for next season: Kiira Riihijarvi finished 4th on the Epson Tour. Sisu!!🇫🇮 It's interesting to note that the 3 Euros in the Epson top 10 are all Scandinavian. 🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴

Happy for Gina to earn better priority next season, she is way to talented to be on the baby tour..

 

Grace needs to add some muscle off the tee before she can compete regularly at the next level 

 

Hopefully Javaree, Pano, and Gaby R. advance through Q series.

Thanks for sharing..  Very entertaining..  They seems to be very close friends having fun playing golf. 

So Yeon is the youngest of the group.. so she has to do what they tell her..

Interesting CME Tidbit:   My committee chair emailed Walking Scorers just last week that we must all work Tues & Wed Pro Ams. Last night he emailed, "Nope, LPGA NOT using walking scorers at all for the Pro Ams." Not surprised by this as we weren't required this year at the Dana Open Pro Ams either. Wondering if they're headed toward NOT using walking scorers at all in the future....

Annie is racking up the frequent flyer miles . LA to NY for the LET event to Korea for the BMW next week.

 

I'll post my players to watch for the BMW event the masses may not be familiar with sometime next week - Min Ji won for the 5th time this year on the KLPGA at last week's major now moves to 16 in the Rolex Ranking, she's the early favorite.
