The so-called ‘Asian Swing’, a LPGA tour tournament held in various Asian countries, begins.

Starting with the Buick Shanghai, which opens in Shanghai, China on the 10th, the BMW Ladies Championship (opens on the 17th), Maybank Championship (Malaysia, opens on the 24th) and Toto Japan Classic (Japan, opens on the 31st) held at Seowon Valley CC in Paju, Gyeonggi-do. It continues. The LPGA Tour holds the ‘Asian Swing’ twice every year, at the beginning of the season and in the fall. In February of this year, three competitions were held in Asia, including Honda Thailand (Thailand), HSBC World Championship (Singapore), and Blue Bay (China).

At this year’s Buick Shanghai, 81 players, including the top 62 LPGA Tour CME Globe points players, 15 players from the China Ladies Professional Golf (CLPGA) Tour, and 4 invited players, will compete for four days without a cutoff. While many top ranked players, including world No. 1 Nellie Korda (USA) and Paris Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko (New Zealand), are absent, Kim Se-young, Choi Hye-jin, Lee Mi-hyang, Lee So-mi, Kim A-rim, Sung Yu-jin, and Jeon Ji-won will participate, making the top three Korean players this season. Challenge yourself to win the championship. Among Korean players this year, Yang Hee-young won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, a major tournament in June, and Yoo Hae-ran took the top spot at the FM Championship last month.

Players in the top 10 in CME Globe Points include 6th place Hannah Green (Australia), 7th place Gino Titikun (Thailand), and 9th place Yin Luoning (China) who will challenge for the championship. Defending champion Angel Yin and Chinese player Rose Zhang (USA) will also participate.

There is also interest in whether Lim Jin-hee, a rookie on the LPGA Tour this year, will be able to get ahead of the competition for Rookie of the Year. As of the 8th, Lim Jin-hee, who is recording 671 Rookie of the Year points, is in second place following first place Mao Saigo (Japan, 749 points). Since the winner and runner-up are awarded 150 and 80 Rookie of the Year points, respectively, Jinhee Lim can aim for Rookie of the Year depending on her performance in the remaining competitions.

After completing the four Asian Swing tournaments this fall, the 2024 LPGA Tour will conclude with three tournaments held in the United States again in November.
