It all comes down to this week for 2022 LPGA hopefuls. Actually, it all starts this week for 110 players.

This is the first of the two-week LPGA Q-Series, the final stage of LPGA qualifying school. The field will compete on two courses over 72, Thursday-Sunday in Mobile, Alabama.

Following a cut to the low 70 players and ties, those scores will then carry over to Week 2 and another 72 holes on two courses in Dothan, Alabama, Dec. 9-12.

Players finishing inside the top 45 and ties following the conclusion of the cumulative eight rounds will receive LPGA membership next season. All players finishing outside the top 20 and ties will receive Symetra Tour status for the upcoming year.

There is also a $150,000 purse with $15,000 going to the medalist.
