Whole LOTTE Love 🏝️
The LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakalei starts on WEDNESDAY. I gave up trying to understand the LPGA schedule years ago, but stopping in Hawaii before the fall Asia swing does make sense. Last year, the ladies played the LOTTE on their way back from the Far EAST in November. The LOTTE started in 2012 as a spring event held in April. Last year was the first time it was played in the fall. For the fourth year in a row, the tournament is being contested at Hoakalei Country Club. Four of the top 10 players in the Rolex rankings are competing, and 9 of the top 25. That does surprise me, as we only have seven more events to play (including this week) before the top 60 cut-off for the CME Group Tour Championship. Five of those last seven are overseas and limited field events. Points are precious and will be tough to come by on Oahu.
