Rhodes, Ewart Shadoff and Walsh Earn 2026 LPGA Cards

Mimi Rhodes, Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Lauren Walsh have each secured LPGA Tour membership for 2026 after completing the Q-Series final qualifying on Tuesday.

Rhodes, 23, achieved the result she needed with a tie for 24th to claim her maiden LPGA card. The English player has competed on the Ladies European Tour since turning professional in 2024 and enjoyed a breakthrough 2025 campaign, recording three wins — the Dutch Ladies Open, the Joburg Ladies Open and the Ford Women’s NSW Open — along with three additional top-10 finishes.

Also finishing tied 24th, 37-year-old Jodi Ewart Shadoff will return to the LPGA Tour. Ewart Shadoff first joined the LPGA in 2011, has represented Europe in three Solheim Cups (2013, 2017 and 2019) and carries 34 career top-10 finishes into the new season.

Ireland’s Lauren Walsh earned her first LPGA card with a tie for 17th. The 25-year-old from Kildare has been on the LET since turning pro in 2023 and has posted 11 top-10s; she will join fellow Irish player Leona Maguire on the LPGA next year.

The 2026 LPGA schedule will comprise 33 events with a total purse exceeding $132 million (about £99.2 million).
