With the close of the Epson Tour Championship, Reagan Zibilski has secured her 2027 LPGA Tour card in a stunning comeback this Sunday evening. Finishing her final round with a bogey-free, 9-under 62, Zilbilski had the lowest round of the tournament and gained her first professional win. Rocketing up the Race for the Card rankings from No. 37 to No. 10, she showed fans she truly does shine under pressure.
Finishing off the podium was Mirabel Ting (14-under) in second place and Catherine Park and Colcheva Wongras (both 13-under) at T3.
Ending her round on Thursday, Zibilski had a round of 65 to put her in second place on the leaderboard. She credits that early success to getting a quick start.
“Definitely being the first group off helped kind of—I’m a quicker player, so just to kind of be able to go out and set the pace, I got off to a good start,” said Zibilski. “So [I] was able to just keep it rolling from there and make birdies whenever I had a wedge in my hand…So yeah, just taking the opportunities when I got them was really important today.”
Suffering a round of 73 on Friday, Zibilski fell from her high ranking but made her way steadily back up.
“I have no words honestly right now, it’s all still sinking in, but yeah, just so, so grateful,” said Zibilski about winning and earning her LPGA Tour card. “A lot of hard work and a tough, quick transition to professional golf, but this makes it 1,000% all worth it.”
With the win, not only does Zibilski clinch her LPGA Tour status for 2027, but she also gets to take home $100,000, the first six-figure winner’s portion in Epson Tour history. After only starting in 11 events her rookie season, Zibilski has shown consistency and strength for managing to make 10 of those 11 cuts.
Zibilski joined the tour in early June after graduating from Arkansas and joining the Epson Tour through the LCAP program. She placed T6 at the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship, her first event. Her last win came from the 2025 Dale McNamara Invitational as a junior in college.
Joining Zibilski with their LPGA Tour cards are Rachel Keuhn, Megha Ganne, Lauryn Nguyen, Megan Schofill and Samantha Wagner. They complete the 2026 Epson Tour graduates along with the previous nine who secured their cards weeks earlier.
