LPGA EPSON TOUR PARTNERSHIP

Just as the Epson Tour is the ‘Official Qualifying Tour of the LPGA Tour’, the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour serves a unique path to the Epson Tour. Each ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour tournament awards the top two finishers exemptions into selected Epson Tour events.

The success story of the Epson Tour-WAPT partnership can be highlighted in the success of its graduates: Gabby Then (LPGA Tour Member), Grace Kim (LPGA Tour Winner), Britney Yada (22 Epson Tour Winner), Emma Broze (21 Epson Tour Winner), Sarah White (20 Epson Tour Winner), and Gurleen Kaur (LPGA Tour Member). 

“The Annika Women’s All Pro Tour has demonstrated since the beginning of this partnership that athletes that achieve success on their Tour arrive to the Epson Tour ready to compete, many of whom have moved on to the LPGA Tour,” said Epson Tour Chief Business and Operating Officer, Jody Brothers. “I’m thrilled that we are extending this partnership and look forward to working closely with Gary and the ANNIKA WAPT team to ensure that all talented female golfers have the opportunity and pathways they need to achieve their dream of playing professionally at the highest level.”

  • The top (2) two finishers of each ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour event will earn exemptions into specific Epson Tour events. The designated Epson Tour tournament exemptions will be announced in early February and will be posted on each ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour tournament information page.

    Exemptions will not be passed down should an exemption winner already be in the Epson Tour field. Additionally, all exemptions are designated to a specific Epson event and are not transferable.

  • Should two players be tied for the second exemption spot, the following Tie-Breaker will determine the winner:

    • Accumulated Points for the WAPT Season

    • Lowest Final Round at the current event

    • Year-to-date scoring average

    • Scorecards Playoff – starting with the most recent round and working backward (#18, # 17, #16, etc)
