Heading into 2027, Brooke Henderson remains the only Canadian woman golf fans can count on seeing regularly during LPGA Tour events.
The 29-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., has already secured her status for 2027, with her results this season placing her comfortably inside the top 80 on the LPGA’s Race to CME Globe ranking.
She enjoyed a strong season, highlighted by her performances in major championships. The 14-time tour winner finished second at the Amundi Evian Championship and tied for third at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2026. She also holds exemptions from her 2022 Evian title and her 2025 CPKC Women’s Open victory, providing security beyond her position in the points standings.
Maude-Aimée LeBlanc, Savannah Grewal and Leah John face much more uncertainty.
Following the Lotte Championship, LeBlanc, of Sherbrooke, Que., sat 117th in the Race to the CME Globe with 126 points. Grewal, of Mississauga, was 160th with just over 33 points, while John, of Vancouver, was 189th with three points.
The LPGA’s priority structure gives the top 80 players the best playing privileges for the following season. Players finishing 81st through 100th enter a lower category, while those placing 101st through 125th receive more restricted access.
Maintaining her current position would allow LeBlanc to retain a foothold on the tour, but she still has considerable incentive to improve her standing through qualifying.
Grewal and John remained outside those points-based categories. Neither had secured a dependable 2027 LPGA schedule through their season results.
Huang pursuing first LPGA Tour card
Rising star Anna Huang could provide a significant addition to Canada’s LPGA Tour presence.
The 18-year-old from Vancouver has already captured four Ladies European Tour victories since turning professional, and finished tied for fourth at this year’s CPKC Women’s Open.
That result earned her entry to the following week’s FM Championship. It also illustrated the difference between earning an individual tournament start and securing season-long membership.
Huang, whose European results have propelled her as high as 36th in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings this year, will be old enough to pursue a 2027 LPGA card through this year’s Qualifying Series. A top-10 finish on the LET Order of Merit provides access to Final Qualifying but does not automatically award an LPGA card.
Crop of Epson Tour players seeking Q-Series success
The completed Epson Tour season provided no Canadian additions among its 15 graduates. Canadians Maddie Szeryk-DiBello (33rd) and Megan Osland (46th) therefore did not earn new LPGA cards through that route. Any improvement in their status must come from a strong result at the tour’s Final Qualifying Stage event, which runs Nov. 19-23 in Alabama. Huang and LeBlanc will join Szeryk-DiBello and Osland in the field there.
The top 25 and ties at that final stage event earn LPGA status for 2027, with their finishing positions determining priority.
Those results will establish Canada’s final contingent. Henderson can already turn her attention to next season. For several other Canadians, the coming weeks will determine where they can play in 2027.
