The LPGA Has Six Tournaments Left and Far More Than One Race to Settle

The LPGA season is hurtling toward its finale with just six tournaments remaining, and the race for the top spot is far from settled. Jeeno Thitikul enters the final stretch as the season’s most dominant force, having already secured four victories in 2026, including last week’s LOTTE Championship.

Her return to the Buick LPGA Shanghai—where she staged a dramatic comeback from four shots back in 2025—adds extra intrigue, as she aims to defend her title at Sheshan Golf Club. Beyond the championship chase, the season’s end carries high stakes for other players, with cuts looming for the CME Group Tour Championship and LPGA card retention for 2027.

A single missed cut or weak finish could derail years of progress, making every shot count in these final weeks. Meanwhile, the LPGA stands as the focal point of professional golf, with the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour having wrapped their seasons, leaving the spotlight firmly on the women’s tour as it races toward its climactic conclusion in Naples, Florida.
