There is a Q-School for the KLPGA tour, too. The final qualifier is taking place right now, from 11/20 to 11/23. If I understand correctly, it looks like top 40 get KLPGA membership, with conditional membership happening for those worse than that (they will probably end up in one of the feeder tours).
Interestingly, there were a handful of foreign players in the earlier rounds, including Florentyna Parker, an LET mainstay (I don't think she advanced to the finals). I have not been able to find a leaderboard, but I saw an article, which had the following tidbits:
After three rounds, amateur star Ayean Cho (18 years old) has stormed to a three shot lead at 12 under. You may recall that she won the Women's World Championship singles crown earlier this season. In second place is Hee Jong Im.
Q Baek and Bo Kyung Kim are in the field, but had weak third rounds and have fallen to 46th and 47th place. They are in danger of not making the big tour. Seul Ah Yoon is at 4 under and still in the mix for a card in 8th place; barring an epic collapse, she should make a card for 2019. Jin Joo Hong fell out of the top 20 after three rounds but is still in the hunt.
One more day! I hope I can find the final standings, and if so, I will post them here (or whatever else I can find about the results). It would be very exciting to have Ayean Cho as a rookie next year (I expect she'll make it).
