Sneha Singh and Avani Prashanth are aiming to earn their place among the world’s eliteAvani Prashanth and Sneha Singh are headed to the LPGA Qualifying Stage II, also known as the LPGA Q-Series, which had been postponed due to Hurricane Milton. Originally scheduled for October 15-18 at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Florida, the LPGA announced the new date of October 24-27th clashing with the Hero Women’s Indian Open in Delhi which means both top Indians will have to skip the national event.
Earlier this August, at Stage I held in California, 17-year-old Avani, India’s top-ranked amateur who is looking to transition into the professional ranks, demonstrated impressive form with rounds of 69-71-74-68 (6-under 282) to comfortably advance to Stage II. Similarly, 20-year-old Sneha Singh, the 2023 Hero Women’s Golf Rankings champion from Hyderabad, secured her place with rounds of 74-72-72-71 (1-over 289).
The Stage II of the LPGA Q-Series will now take place on the rescheduled dates, where the top 80 players will advance to the six-round (108-hole) Final Qualifying event in Alabama from December 5-9. The top 25 finishers at Final Qualifying will earn full LPGA Tour status for the 2025 season, while those finishing 26-45 and ties will receive conditional LPGA and Epson Tour status. Players outside the top 45 will gain partial Epson Tour status for the upcoming season.
