LPGA commissioner Mike Whan is creating a new “pipeline” to the LPGA.
LPGA Q-School is on the way out.
A new Qualifying Series is on the way in.
Whan is working to build a better way to assign priority status to incoming tour members and believes this new series will create a fairer measurement of who deserves higher priority rankings. He also believes the new qualifying system will better serve the collegiate game as it feeds his tour.
Also, Whan believes it will elevate the importance of the Symetra Tour as a season-long proving ground for future LPGA pros.
