While Gabriela Ruffels holds a commanding lead in the Race for the Card with $156,283 and has secured her spot on the LPGA Tour for the 2024 season, the competition is heating up with only six events remaining and nearly a $1.5 million left to be earned in 2023. A winner is almost guaranteed a card for the 2024 LPGA season.
Alena Sharp made the move of the week with her tie for four at the Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic. The top 10 moved her from No. 13 to No. 9 in the standings on the Epson Tour, but she also climbed up four spots in the world rankings.
The Canadian has four additional top-10 finishes on the Epson Tour this season, including a win at the Champions Fore Change Invitational, and is looking to work her way back to playing on the LPGA Tour full-time. This week, she will be teeing up in front of a hometown crowd at the CPKC Women's Open at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver, Canada.
Rounding out the top ten in the Race for the Card standings are Natasha Andrea Oon (No. 2), Jiwon Jeon (No. 3), Agathe Laisne (No. 4), Jenny Bae (No. 5), Jenny Coleman (No. 6), Roberta Liti (No. 7), Gigi Stoll (No. 8) and Minji Kang (No. 10).
