2024 The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican

My field rating for this tournament is a solid 63%, up from 62.5% last year.
My breakdown is 68% from the LPGA Priority List and 58% from the Rolex Rankings.
Seven of the top ten players in the world will be teeing it up this week:
Nelly Korda (1)
Ruoning Yin (2)
Lilia Vu (3)
Lydia Ko (4)
Hannah Green (5)
Haeran Ryu (6)
Celine Boutier (8)
Top ten players skipping the event this week:
Jeeno Thitikul (7)
Ayaka Furue (9)
Jin Young Ko (10)

Defending Champion:
Lilia Vu
Other Champions of this event in the field this week:
Nelly Korda (2021, 2022)
Sei Young Kim (2020)

Other Stuff:
A Lim Kim's win at the Lotte Championship was the third win by a Korean player this year. They join New Zealand, Australia, China, and Japan with three wins. The USA (12) and Thailand (5) lead the LPGA this year.

Mao Saigo widens her lead this week over Jin Hee Im for the Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year award (934 points to 788). No rookie has won on the tour this year, but Saigo has seven top ten finishes. Im and Nataliya Guseva have five each.

There are just a few players that made moves worth noting in the Rolex Rankings this week:
Lotte Winner A Lim Kim moves from 72 to 57. You would expect a bigger jump after a victory, but the points for that tournament were very low due to the embarrasingly low strength of field.
Nataliya Guseva (runner-up last week) hurdles her way up from 113 to 90.
Outside the top 100, Austin Kim soars from 204-162.

The Race for the CME Globe:
As you know, you must finish in the top 100 to retain your full-time playing priviliges for the 2025 season. Also note that strength of field does not come into play, and the points awarded for tournament finishes are the same for every non major event. With that in mind, last week's Lotte results had a huge bearing on the players fighting to stay in the top 100. 
Jodi Ewart Shadoff (99 to 90) and Lindy Duncan (105 to 91) have probably locked up a spot for next year.
Yuri Yoshida (132 to 100), Bianca Pagdanganan (107 to 101), and Sofia Garcia (106 to 102), have some more work to be done, but have greatly improved their chances.
On the downside, Mone Inami (98 to 103) and Haeji Kang (100 to 104) have fallen out of the top 100.

As far as getting into the CME Championship tournament where only the top 60 finishes from the Race to the CME Globe get in:
A Lim Kim (65 to 22) and Nataliya Guseva (51 to 25) have wrapped up spots in this very rich tournament.
With just this week's tournament left to qualify, Ryan O'Toole (66 to 55) appears to have done enough to qualify. Austin Kim (79 to 65) made a big move, but has to make another one this week to get in.
On the downside: Gaby Lopez (60 to 61), Hinako Shibuno (58 to 62), and Carlotta Ciganda (59 to 63), have all fallen out of the top 60.

Mone Inami will be safe re her tournament winner priority even if she finishes outside the top 100.

My guess is that we'll be seeing a lot of Nelly, Patty T, and defending champion Lilia "I love you" on Thursday morning. Later in the broadcast, it will be Lydia, the Lexi farewell tour, and Rose. Also Hannah, Haeran, and Ronnie very near the end of the broadcast window. Happy viewing all!

The LPGA helpfully posted all of Jeon's camera time on the 3-hour broadcast. All 2 minutes and 16 seconds.

Golf Channel spends more time on one shot of Lexi jabbering with her caddie in the middle of the fairway, trying to decide what club to use.
