The Epson Tour is the qualifying tour of the LPGA, which means 15 deserving players will be making their way to the largest stage in golf by season’s end. The Race for the Card is the season-long points system that ranks these players.
A win this season doesn’t guarantee a player’s spot in the top 15; it has to be followed up by high-quality play. The Race for the Card is truly a season-long feat. Consistently finishing at the top could be enough to earn you status on the LPGA Tour, even without a win.
As the 2026 season comes to a close, we’ll be updating the rankings after each Epson Tour event so you can see who’s safely in the top 15 and who may finagle their way in at the last second. A win, especially at the Tour Championship where more points are awarded, could significantly move the needle – especially if that golfer has been playing well all season.
Race for the Card Rankings After the Dream First Bank Charity Classic (Aug. 28-30, 2026)
There is a new leader in the Epson Tour Race for the Card, with the home stretch yet to come.
Rookie Mirabel Ting won for the second time in less than a month at last week’s Dream First Bank Charity Classic, pushing her ahead of Lauren Olivares into the top spot.
Three events remain in the 2026 Epson Tour season, meaning three more opportunities for players to get inside the coveted top 15 in points and earn LPGA status for 2027.
Fortunes can change quickly—rookie Megha Ganne soared from 70th to 15th two weeks ago after winning the Wildhorse Ladies Golf Classic, then a T3 last week in Kansas bumped her up to 12th.
The Epson Tour continues Sept. 11-13 at the Guardian Championship in Prattville, Alabama.
