The top Placed 10th in Driving Distance 10 cumulative money earners through the Symetra Tour Greens in Reg Championship will earn an LPGA Tour card for 2018. 72.1% 277.454 Through a partnership with Volvik, the Volvik Race for the Card money list was created in 2012. Players began receiving Tour cards through the Symetra Tour in 1999. Since then, a total of 127 players have graduated from the Symetra Tour to the LPGA.

Earning a Tour card through the Volvik Race for the Card money list is more difficult than ever before. In 2016, a record 14 players earned over $60,000 and for the first time a player that won twice did not earn a card. Everyone that finished inside the top 10 had at least four top 10 finishes and eight of the ten had at least six top 10 finishes.

The Race for the Card is always intriguing until the final putt drops in Daytona Beach. In 2016, both Laura Gonzalez Escallon and Nelly Korda moved inside the top 10 with stellar play on the final day of the season. Less than $1,100 separated No. 10 and No. 11 – the the difference between 10 earning a card and failing short. CARDS MOVING UP TO THE LPGA TOUR
