Starting from the Chevron, the real 2022 season begins; the six tournaments before all have the same or similar purses as previous years.

 

Winner will earn $750,000.00, up from $465,000.00 last year.  This separates LPGA from all other women's golf tours.

 

Hope Hee Jeong Lim enjoy her experience and pick up her LPGA card at 2022 Q-School.

I'll keep my way too early pick of Atthaya Thitikul despite the difficultly of back to back wins. 

[18majors]

 

Congratulations to these players, they qualified via finishing inside Top-80 CME list before the Chevron Championship:

 

 

[18majors]

 

There're currently 114 players in the field, more than previous years when it's ANA Inspiration.  The field ranged from 94 to 108 before.

 

Between the Chevron and Augusta National Women's Amateur Golf, this week is the best week for amateur women's golf.

Field for ANWA Golf

Is this the controversial 18th hole?

 

Back drop is now gone?

 

[leekgolf]

Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but I'm sad this tournament is the last Dinah Shore. I hope the LPGA puts another event in Mission Hills/Palm Springs.

 

It's like The Masters moving to Orlando for money and sponsorship.

Congratulations, Jeeno:

@18majors For the "Number of Events" denominator used in that Rolex Rankings table ... 

...Do you know the time-period for those Number of Events? 

e.g. JYK with 43 (... or Mone Inami with 68!! Awake Furue with 61!!)
... My un-informed guess = a ~3 year period? i.e. approx ~20 events per year, for those ladies with events numbering in the 60s?)

Normally, the period is 2 years, or 104 weeks.

 

The complexity is Rolex suspended the ranking for more than ten weeks in 2020 due to Pandemic; as a result, the starting point is murky at this point.

Atthaya Thitikul leads 2022 Rolex points:

1.    Atthata Thitikul                                     87.32
2.    Nanna Koerstz Madsen                        78.73
3.    Danielle Kang                                        78.58
4.    Lydia Ko                                                 69.57
5.    Jin Young Ko                                         65.29

Goes back to somewhere around week 30 of 2019, which was Evian

Nanna, Attaya, Lydia and Lizette Salas are playing well.

Let's see

[18majors]

 

Something is wrong, Jeeno picked up less than 3,000 new Instagram followers with a win.

 

Both Sophia Popov and Patty Tavatanakit picked up almost 10,000 followers with their first wins.  Jeeno should be a bigger news, being a teenager and with all those charisma.

 

I looked up and Jeeno didn't have a professional agent, that needs to change.

[18majors]

 

Go, Chevron, go!  We'll have a real champion this year:

I'm all for it as long as they grew the rough at the back of the green,  otherwise it will be like last year, lay up city.  They said on the broadcast Judy was at the course hitting putts on Sunday and she said it was fast, so unless you have the perfect club you're playing with fire going in 2 lol

The commentators were saying some fans who asked for her autograph might not even know who she was… 

 

I think she’s tapped the IG followers in Southeast Asia/Asia… I just dunno how she’ll grow it in North America other than keeping on winning… she’s as personable as they can be / even more than Yuka (comparing a young winner to another young winner from that part of the world) 

 
I’ll give it a few more months / those followers will grow 

 

Veering off topic a bit: what do the agents actually ask for that make the players sometimes go without it? (Quite a few from Southeast Asia don’t engage in them btw)

Yes she alluded to it again in golf central at 6pm show today… the need for accuracy AND putting…

[Johnnypenso]

Here's hoping.

Publicity, that's what she needs.

 

She can drive the publicity herself, but it's much more effective to let the agent drive it.  The agent can drive LPGA, media (publication and TV) and they can maximize her wins more than she and her family can do on their own.

First week with the new length driver shaft, so who knows what to expect and the fact she pulled out last week makes a little nervous lol

@JungleJimbo

 

It's interesting that you keep poking fun at @Supermilore Su Oh or Jeeno, but I've no idea who your favorites are?

 

I maybe able to recommend if you don't have one yet!

It will now.  Too many of them will be sniffing $$ . . . 

[18majors]

 

That's how to be the best:

Unfamiliarity with the concept.  It's mostly a family affair . . . or close friends/relatives that are trusted.  A few have agents based in the United States such as Yuka and a few others.   If they have no agent listed then they work through the LPGA until they can get themselves established.

@18majorshave a look at the fantasy Pool 📝🤞 

 

albeit the perception of  “keep poking fun at @Supermilo “

= means maybe I should tone it down! 
ie wouldn’t want to be directed to the “naughty corner” 👉🪑🙇‍♂️

No worries, @18majors has posted more stuff in this thread unrelated to Chevron, than related to Chevron already. Disrespectful really.

[iBanesto]

How did Mi Hyang Lee qualify?
