The Home Stretch

While the PGA Tour is winding down, the LPGA is just beginning their final run to their tour's championship, aka the CME Group Titleholders. For the next six weeks the ladies will be skipping their way across the planet. Just check out this schedule:

  1. Oct 11-14: Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia

(Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

  • Oct 19-21: LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship
  • (Incheon, South Korea)

  • Oct 25-28: Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship 2012
  • (Yang Mei, Taoyuan, Taiwan)

  • Nov 2-4: Mizuno Classic
  • (Shima-shi, Mie, Japan)

  • Nov 8-11: Lorena Ochoa Invitational Presented by Banamex and Jalisco
  • (Guadalajara, Mexico)

  • Nov 15-18: CME Group Titleholders
  • (Naples, FL) That's quite a romp! Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico, and the USA, all in six weeks.

    These tournaments will determine maximum of the awards for the 12 months -- besides for Rolex Rookie of the Year, with a view to likely go to So Yeon Ryu. I love Tony Jesselli's assessment:

    This race appears to be over. It would take two Lexi wins and a So Yeon immediate retirement announcement to change this result.
    And while Tony says the Rolex Player of the Year will likely go to Stacy Lewis, there is still a possibility that she can be caught -- she only needs to stumble a bit, not retire. ;-) The scoring and money titles are still very much up for grabs though.

    Tony has additionally performed a preview of the Sime Darby tournament being performed this week, so I might not try and duplicate his amazing work. The match may be time-not on time until nine:30 each night starting Thursday, so that you can also prefer to maintain up with the live tournament scoring on the LPGA internet site.

    While the LPGA's very last run might not be as hyped because the FedExCup Playoffs, we should see most of the top players over the next 5 weeks -- mainly considering that there are nevertheless 15 spots to be determined for the Titleholders event.

    Remember, the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia begins the following day.
