There is no longer an instant ‘Battlefield Promotion’, but Gabi Ruffels has guaranteed her promotion to the LPGA Tour in 2024 with a third win of the season at the Epson Tour’s Four Winds Invitational.
The former US Women’s Amateur champion missed the entry deadline to sign up for Q-Series, preventing her from having the chance to gain LPGA status last November.
Such is the small margins separating the leading players on the moneylist, the 37th-ranked player can still earn a LPGA Tour card with a win, and that’s good news for both Gabriela Ruffels and Robyn Choi.
Kim took home $30,000 in prizemoney and was joined by fellow Australians Sarah Jane Smith (T2) and Robyn Choi (T4) in the top section of the leaderboard.
