Alexis Thompson Quest for a card?

gxer · 07-12-2010, 11:35 AM

Lexi has 4 exemptions remaining this season to win enough money, (equal to or better than 80th on the LPGA tour money list), to earn her LPGA tour card without going to q-school, assuming she is granted an age exemption.

The remaining 4 exemptions are:

Evian Masters 7/22-7/25
LPGA Women's Canadian Open 8/26-8/29
LPGA P&G Northwest 9/10-9/12
LPGA Navistar 10/7-10/10

Three of the above events have rather large purses, the Evian Masters @ $3,250,000, the women's Canadian Open @ $2,250,000 and the P&G @ $2,000,000, the remaining exemption, the Navistar is only $1,300,000.

My question is, do you think the kid will earn her LPGA tour card in these 4 events?

Maybe this will help you decide. In 2009, 80th place on the money list was Irene Cho with $118,302. There is less prize money available this year than last, so let's guess that 80th place will be somewhere around $100,000 this year.

4 events, $100,000, an average of $25,000 per event.

PS: This post is incorrect, Lexi only has 2 exemptions that count towards earning a LPGA tour card, the last 2.

PS2: Not only is this post incorrect but the post I made saying Lexi had 2 exemptions is also incorrect, the final number is 3 per the LPGA tour. The Evian Masters doesn't count but the other 3 do.

If the parents sign off on it an under age child can get married.
What's the difference?

The question is not about an age exemption.

Entirely possible, she won $72000+ yesterday, unless she misses a cut or two or finishes way down the list.

Hi ya Hedwynn...I am not SUPER sure...but I don't think that 72K won in the US Women Open will count on the LPGA Money list...I think ONLY Members get their Money winnings counted

also I remember there was a Problem with Laura Davis's money not being counted for entry to the Samsung as Laura got to the US Open via the LET category....or something like that

anyway...I am sure that someone will tell us for sure....have a good day Down Under...see ya!!

Earnings in the women's US Open doesn't count towards earning a card.

Does Evian count? I thought only domestic events counted. Also she should have room for another event on her schedule if she can get an invite.

As far as I know, only DOMESTIC LPGAevents count, so USWO (even though domestic), Evian, and WBO will not count. Not sure about the Canadian Women's Open.

What the hell consitutes "domestic?" In the Northern Hemisphere?

I could be wrong but I thought that co-sponsored LPGA events counted whether domestic or not.

She is only allowed 6 exemptions, she has used 2 already, the Nabisco and the ShopRite.
