The Epson Tour, the Road to the LPGA, begins the Kansas swing with the inaugural Prairie Band Casino & Resort Charity Classic presented by Toyota from September 5-7 at Firekeeper Golf Course. The Epson Tour is back in the Sunflower State for the first time since 2010 when the future stars of the LPGA played in the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Championship.
The Prairie Band Casino & Resort Charity Classic is the 18th event of the season. It begins a three-week stretch that will conclude with the final event of the year, the Epson Tour Championship presented by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University from September 18-21 at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The field this week will feature 144 aspiring LPGA Tour professionals competing for their share of the $100,000 total purse. The winner will take home $15,000 and potentially move inside the top- 10 on the Volvik Race for the Card money list.
The top-10 on the year-end Volvik Race for the Card money list will earn their full-time LPGA Tour cards for the 2015 season.
With three events remaining and a total of $350,000 in prize money still available, the race to get inside top-10 is extremely tight.
Although the top players have nearly assured themselves an LPGA card for next year, number ten on the money list Veronica Felibert ($32,009) is just $282 ahead of No. 11 Lindy Duncan ($31,727). Duncan is a mere $13 clear of No. 12 Demi Runas ($31,714). Even further down, No. 18 Madison Pressel ($27,597) is only $4,412 shy of the top- 10.
For even more perspective, a win this week for No. 33 on the money Katie Kempter ($17,660) could move her to tenth on the money list.
Next week, the Tour heads to Garden City for the inaugural Garden City Charity Classic at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course.
