Australia will have its strongest representation in tournament history with nine Aussies to tee it up at the Chevron Championship in Texas starting tonight (Australian time).
Despite stringing together some impressive results over the past month, including three top-15 finishes, rising star Gabi Ruffels will enter the season’s first major championship with something so much more valuable than form itself.
A lacklustre showing from most of the Australian contingent at the Valspar Championship in Florida marked the second straight week of disappointing results on the PGA Tour.
She won’t officially join them until 2024, but Gabriela Ruffels was welcomed into Australia’s LPGA family ahead of this week’s CPKC Women’s Open in Canada.
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.
Ruffels is set to make her pro debut in two weeks at the Gainbridge LPGA event at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida, from February 25-28.
