I'm consisting of a number of hyperlinks in today's put up because BOTH the LPGA Tour and Symetra Tour activities have a touching on who receives their playing cards subsequent season.
First of all, the Symetra Tour Championship is the girls' equivalent of the Web.Com Tour Championship (which is likewise taking place this week). On this I'm going to refer you to posts by the Constructivist and with the aid of Tony Jesselli, and additionally the Symetra Tour website's very own summary.
Why so many links, you may ask? Because the Symetra Tour only gives out 10 Tour cards... but unlike the Web.com Tour cards, all 10 cards will give their owners FULL TOUR PRIVILEGES. Yes, you read that right -- full Tour privileges. However, there is no agreement on how many of the Symetra Tour players have locked up cards. TC believes 8 are probably safe, but both Tony and the Tour seem to think it's only 6. The problem is that NONE of the Top10 on the money list are inside the event's Top10 after the first round!
But they are not the handiest ones feeling some stress. The girls on the LPGA are jogging out of time to make each the Top100 cash list to keep their cards for next yr AND to make the Top72 for the Race to the CME Globe (assume FedExCup). Counting this week there are best 8 events before the CME Group Tour Championship, and some of the ones are restricted-discipline occasions. And some players honestly HAVE to make the cut this week if you want to have any risk of preserving their playing cards. TC's submit covers the LPGA scenario in addition to the Symetra Tour.
Among the players who gave up annoying about Tour playing cards long in the past, Stacy Lewis found the placing stroke she couldn't discover on the majors this 12 months and vaulted to the pinnacle of the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic leaderboard along M.J. Hur. (Hur finished T3 at the Evian remaining week.) Both are tied at -eight, whilst South African participant Paula Reto is in third at -7. Reto is one of those gamers who sincerely needs a very good week to try to keep her card -- she's currently at one zero five.
GC is broadcasting the LPGA event today at from 5pm-7pm ET . You'll have to follow the Symetra event on their live leaderboard.
Between the guys and the girls, are there sufficient nerves to hold you entertained this week?
