The LPGA’s developmental circuit is expanding.
The new Women’s All Pro Tour will serve as a new training ground for players looking to play their way into Symetra Tour events and then on to the LPGA ranks, Symetra Tour officials announced Tuesday.
The WAPT will host five tournament series in 2019, with each series featuring two 72-hole tournaments. The top two finishers in each series will receive an exemption into a Symetra Tour event.
“There are so many deserving professional female golfers who are members of the Symetra Tour, but haven’t had access to our tournaments because we don’t host weekly qualifiers,” said Mike Nichols, the Chief Business Officer of the Symetra Tour.
