The LPGA is back in the United States. He has two events left in the 2023 season and a lot to play for.
Not only will this week’s Annika and next week’s CME Group Tour Championship have a total of $10.25 million in prize money at stake, players participating in the “Race to the CME Globe” bubble will also be competing for a spot in the final tournament of the season. I’m trying to solidify it. Naples, Florida, and the battle for several postseason awards is fierce.
The details of the issue are as follows:
Race to CME Globe Top 60
55. Sarah Kemp, 559.713
56. Andrea Lee, 552.303
57. Madelene Sagstrom, 543.931
58. Celine Borge, 535.415
59. Albane Valenzuela, 532.752
60. Bianca Pagdanganan, 528.780

61. Patti Tavatanakit, 514.650
62. Sarah Schmelzel, 499.778
63. Lauren Coughlin, 497.070
64. Ji Eun Hee, 495.010
65. Lee Mi-hyang, 491.789
66. Nanna Keltz Madsen, 487.666
Buzz: The Annika’s top 60 points earn a spot in the CME Group Tour Championship, with the winner receiving $2 million in the race to CME Globe Champion. Of the players listed above, only Andrea Lee will not be playing this week.
Rolex Player of the Year
1. Celine Boutier, 169 years old
2. Lilia Vu, 166
3. Luoning Ying, 133
4. Arisen Corpus, 105
5. Kim Hyo Joo, 97 years old
Buzz: Only the top three players have a chance to take home this honor, and all three will play in both weeks. However, Boutier could clinch the award with a win at Anika and a finish of ninth or worse at Vieux. For Vu to have a mathematical chance, he needs to finish 8th or higher in one of the last two events, while Yin needs at least one finish higher than his 5th. You need to fit it in. Boutier (France) and Yin (China) are the first players from their countries to be named Player of the Year, and Vu is the first American to be named Player of the Year since Stacey Lewis in 2014. Players earn 30 points for one win, 12 points for two wins, 12 points for two wins, and 9 points. 7 for 3rd, 6 for 4th, 6 for 5th, etc. up to 10th place.
Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year
1. Lu Heran, 847
2. Grace Kim, 592
3. Rose Chan, 513
4. Yuna Nishimura, 477
5. Celine Borge, 344
Buzz: Ryu and Kim are still in the race, playing both weeks. However, Kim would need to win both events to have a chance, and even if Kim were to win Anika, Ryu would still be able to finish in the top 12 to win Rookie of the Year.th.
Valle Trophy
1. Kim Hyo Joo, 69.689
2. Ataya Titikul, 69.761
3. Lin Xiu, 69.958
4. Ko Jinyoung, 70.065
