I was wondering who that was. Playing a practice round with Nelly and Megan Khang had to be an awesome experience. You should have hit me up. I could have shown her around on Monday.
She has 14 wins on the LPGA. The others are Aramco/LET so I dont think those count.

Per ChatGPT, here’s the system:
Points Breakdown
Here is a more detailed breakdown of how points are typically awarded:
- Major Championship Win:
- Winning a major championship earns 2 points.
- Regular LPGA Tournament Win:
- Winning a regular LPGA Tour event earns 1 point.
- Player of the Year Award:
- Being named the LPGA Player of the Year earns 1 point.
- Vare Trophy:
- Winning the Vare Trophy earns 1 point.
27 points required to reach HoF.
2x Majors = 4 points
14x LPGA wins = 14 points
POTY = 1 point
So a total of 19 points at the end of this year, leaving her 8 points short

12 non-major LPGA wins (12 pts)
2 majors (4 pts)
Gold Medal (1 pt)
POtY 2024 (1 pt)
18pts guaranteed by my count, though she’ll probably end up with the Vare trophy, too, so call it 19pts, which is what @brandonmanson had, but missing the gold medal and likely Vare Trophy. And double counting the majors, which are already included in her LPGA wins.

Does Nelly get to the HoF before Lydia? It’s not out of the realm of possibilities.
Isn’t also true that the player has to have 10 years of membership before being HOF eligible? I think that was the issue that held up Lorena Ochoa’s entry.
I don’t think Nelly has 10 years yet.

Yes, that is true. Nelly is in year 7? I think?

That’s not included on the LPGA website outlining HoF requirements. They likely scrapped it because of Ochoa. Ochoa’s in the HoF.
Edit: They dropped it in 2022, and she was promptly inducted that year.

Am I the only one who has no sound on the live stream for the USWO?
no, that’s happening
I can almost hear @Tron’s keyboard cooking up a hamsterdam post for this nonsense. Someone plug in the audio cord, please.
