The LPGA Amateur Golf Association (LPGA Amateurs) Championship started in 1995.  It has grown to be one of the largest women’s amateur golf competitions in the world and we want YOU to be a part of the fun and excitement. Members of all skill levels are encouraged to compete.  Give the Championship a try and put your game to the test!

Stages of the LPGA Amateur Championship

• Sectional Championship Qualifier (SCQ) - an18-hole round held at 10 venues from August to October.
• LPGA Amateurs Championship Finals, a two-day, 36 hole event held in early November.

FLIGHTS

Competitors play in one of six flights based upon their USGA Handicap Index.

Advancement:

Advancement from SCQ's to the Finals will be determined using a percentage basis.  A maximum of 132 players will advance from the 10 SCQs.

Advancement calculations will be made based on two different percentages:

• The percentage of players in the field for a SCQ compared to the total number of participants in all SCQs.  (A SCQ with a larger field will advance more than from a smaller field.)
• The percentage of players within a flight compared to the rest of the field in a SCQ.  At a minimum, First place low gross will advance in any flight that includes players.  If a flight is significantly larger than other flights, more players from the larger flights will advance, following the pattern of:  1LG, 1LN, 2LG, 2LN, etc...
• After registration closes, each SCQ portal page will be updated to reflect the numbers that will advance. 

Eligibility:

• Be a female* LPGA Amateur Golf Association member in good standing.

• Have a verifiable USGA Handicap Index and have the equivalent of three 18-hole scores posted to your handicap record in the current year, prior to the handicap cut-off date for the respective SCQ.

• Be an amateur golfer as defined by the USGA.
