The LPGA is again stateside for its closing two tournaments of the season.

Nelly Korda, the world No. 1 who has already clinched Rolex Participant of the 12 months honors, returns from a neck damage (she’s been out since late September) to headline the 120-player discipline for this week’s The Annika pushed by Gainbridge at Pelican Golf Membership in Belleair, Florida. Upon completion of The Annika, the highest 60 gamers within the Race to the CME Globe will then head down I-75 the next week for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon Golf Membership in Naples. Everybody else will enter the offseason – some nonetheless with an LPGA card, others with lesser standing.

Thus, this week is make or break, points-wise.

Listed below are the races you have to be watching:

High 60

What it will get you: A spot within the 60-player CME Group Tour Championship, which boasts an $11 million purse with $4 million going to the winner. In contrast to the PGA Tour, the LPGA doesn’t technically have a season-long champion; the winner of the season finale wins the CME Race to the Globe, which suggests Korda’s 906-point lead over Haeran Ryu issues none.

The place issues stand:

55. Ryann O’Toole, 713.6
56. Minjee Lee, 711.3
57. Leona Maguire, 704.2
58. Hyo Joo Kim, 697.2
59. Mi Hyang Lee, 688.9
60. Stephanie Kyriacou, 679.8

61. Gaby Lopez, 665.6
62. Hinako Shibuno, 647.1
63. Carlota Ciganda, 639.5
64. Auston Kim, 637.9
65. Ashleigh Buhai, 625.7

It’s surprising to see Minjee Lee on the bubble, particularly contemplating she’s not completed worse than sixteenth in factors in 9 seasons on the LPGA. However simply 4 top-10s in 19 begins this season have her at risk of falling out of the highest 60. Lopez is at present the primary participant out as she seems to keep away from snapping a six-year streak of qualifying for the LPGA finale. She wants no less than a two-way tie for fortieth to maneuver into the highest 60. Perrine Delacour, at No. 108 in factors, is the primary participant within the discipline who can not crack the highest 60 with a win.
