“The Symetra Tour continues its consistent trend of upward growth, enhancing the opportunity we provide to players from around the world who aspire to play on the LPGA Tour,” said Mike Nichols, the Chief Business Officer of the Symetra Tour. In addition, compared to the 15 events and $1.62 million in purses offered by the 2013 schedule, the Tour has witnessed a 60 percent growth in tournaments and 150 percent increase for purses during that span. To give perspective on this purse figure, it is up 27 percent from 2018.
The Symetra Tour has released the official 2019 “Road to the LPGA” schedule, featuring 24 tournaments-the most in a season since 1988-and $4 million in purses, marking the first time in the 39-year history of the Tour that plateau has been surpassed.
