LPGA, Symetra to merge 2020-21 seasons for eligibility, rankings

The LPGA will merge its 2020 and ’21 seasons for the purposes of eligibility and priority rankings, but will keep those two seasons separate in its historical and official record.

That was the news from the LPGA commissioner’s office Wednesday, as was the announcement that the Meijer Classic is being canceled with the tour continuing to adjust to life amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Symetra Tour will also adopt the same plans with the merger of its 2020 and ’21 seasons for eligibility purposes.

That means Q-School and Q-Series won’t be staged this year, with no route that way to next year’s LPGA player ranks.
