At the 2024 LPGA Q-Series, after five days of play in Mobile, Alabama, 26 players have earned their LPGA Tour status for 2025.
Leading the way was medalist Miyu Yamashita, who won by six strokes at -27 for the event. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as Yamashita is ranked No. 14 in the world, the only player in the Rolex top 20 without 2025 LPGA status already. Over the past year, Yamashita has been one of the most dominant players in the world while on the JLPGA. In 2024 she has 17 top-five finishes, including a runner-up at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and two wins.
Joining her will be Japanese twins Chisato Iwai and Akie Iwai, both of whom finished in the top five. LPGA fans may recognize the Iwai twins from their 13 combined starts in majors over the past two seasons. Akie placed top-10 in her last two major starts at Evian and the AIG Women’s Open.
The 2024 NCAA Division I Individual National Champion Adela Cernousek from Texas A&M also will be a 2025 rookie after shooting -11, finishing T13.
