Miranda Wang Working to Better Status on LPGA Tour After Earning Membership at Epson Tour Championship

When the LPGA and Epson Tours announced the addition of five extra LPGA Tour cards to be given out via the 2024 Race for the Card, it was also shared that the athletes finishing 11 to 15 would be able to better their status at the Final Qualifying stage of LPGA Q-Series if needed. Of the five players who finished in that range, three of them took the opportunity to go to Final Qualifying, looking for more starts on the LPGA Tour in 2025, one of whom is Miranda Wang.

Wang was 2-under through the first 18 holes of play in Lower Alabama but is now currently sitting in a tie for 56th at 2-over total, needing a big push to better her status next season. Athletes that earned a spot in the 11-15 range of the season-long points competition on the Epson Tour had a decision to make, as evidenced by only three of the five athletes electing to play this week, but there was never a doubt in Wang’s mind about what she would do if she fell in one of those five spots.

“During the Epson Tour season, I kind of made that decision that if I'd make it to the top 15, but it's like 11 to 15, no matter if it’s 11 or 15, I'll come to play Q-Series,” said Wang. “That decision was made during the season, not after I got the card.”

Wang had a long journey to get to this point, starting on the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour (WAPT) in 2022 and learning how to win professional golf tournaments on the smaller circuit. She won twice while on the WAPT and earned 2022 Player of the Year honors before moving up to the Epson Tour for the 2023 season.
