No, I'm not posting all 20 events this year, but a season opener is always noteworthy...it's March 26-27 at the Queens Hill Golf Club, about 50 miles north of Nagasaki. A few of the "names" trying to escape washout status this week are Princess Mary Superal, Pei-Ying Tsai, Miyuki Takeuchi, Porani Chutichai, Kacie Komoto, Asami Kikuchi, O Sattaya, Supamas Sangchan, Fumika Kawagishi, Megumi Shimokawa, Yukari Nishiyama, Mayu Hattori, Kotone Hori and Natuska Hori. BOLD = past winner on JLPGA big tour
Someone put the first half of Round One on Youtube live:
You can find it via this search:
rashink×RE SYU RYU/RKBレディース
The broadcast runs 8 - 11 AM and 12:30 - 4:30 PM each day (Japan time)

The YouTube broadcast will resume at Midnight EST...don't know how long it will run. Only 30 minutes of the early broadcast was posted there...watching some of it now...Megumi Shimokawa is wearing the exact same MU Sports sweater worn by Ah Reum Hwang on Sunday.
MU Sports is really pushing that sweater...Pei-Ying Tsai has it, too...she is Even thru nine holes. Yukari Nishiyama is tied for 1st at -2 thru five holes.

The total purse is ¥15,000,000 (about $136K USD), which is better than several Symetra events. This is one of two Step Up events that is two rounds, the rest are three rounds.

kotone hori tees off around 6:20 in the first video. wouldnt mind if you posted all the step up matches.... there are many main tour playes this season. havent see hikari fujita or jennifer hirano listed anywhere yet for the step up. maybe hikari fujita will get a few exceptions on the main tour, looks like she still wears support on her surgery corrected wrist.

I guess Kotone Hori is locked in on +4 on the first round every where.
That explains why she wasn't listed on the big tour.
Fight lady, fight and get back there.
One fan will always be in your corner.

Yoko Ishikawa (+4) ... looks like they employed club caddies to transport each threesome's clubs in this most unusual motorized cart ... you stand on the back like it's a chariot.

Forget it, you're welcome to have that task! However, I might do some of the big ones later...they have three events that top out at ¥30,000,000 (about $272K USD).
It's too bad Yuting Seki and Weiwei Zhang were not in this one...the CLPGA is completely dark in April, so I hope they appear in both Step Up events next month.
