The first stage of LPGA Q-School has come and gone, and this week begins the second stage.
A field of 185 players are teeing it up this week for 72 holes of stroke play with no cut, Oct. 14-17, in Venice, Florida, at Plantation Golf & Country Club. After the four rounds, the top 30 and ties will advance to LPGA Q-Series, Oct. 23-Nov. 2 at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. In addition to the top 30, the next score(s) will also move on until the Q-Series field is maxed-out at 108 players. Sixty players are already exempt for Q-Series.
