LPGT’s best set out to end elusive TLPGA crown

Title LPGT's Best Set Out to End Elusive TLPGA Crown

The Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT) is poised to make history by capturing its first-ever victory on the Taiwan LPGA Tour (TLPGA). A 20-player contingent, featuring three Korean regulars, will compete in the NT$5 million Party Golfers Ladies Open at the Lily Golf and Country Club in Guanxi Township, Hsinchu, from November 19.

At the forefront is Daniella Uy, who finished joint fourth in the 2019 edition – the best performance by an LPGT campaigner in the event. This season's LPGT leg winners Chanelle Avaricio, Princess Superal, Mafy Singson, and Florence Bisera will lead the team, eager to translate their local dominance into international success.

The Filipinas have been agonizingly close but remain elusive on Taiwan soil. Superal tied for 16th in the first co-sanctioned LPGT-TLPGA event in 2018, while Uy's near-podium finish in 2019 left her just three shots shy of local winner Yu Ling Hsieh.

In recent editions, Pauline del Rosario carried the Philippine flag with back-to-back top-10 finishes – joint sixth in 2023 and tied for eighth last year. This time around, the collective sentiment is one of renewed confidence. The contingent has honed its competitive edge through a grueling domestic season and international forays, making them more than ready to take on the formidable field of top players and rising stars from Thailand, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and host Taiwan.

Among the most confident is Bisera, who is chasing her second international crown after her stunning breakthrough in Thailand last September – a victory that came right after she ruled the LPGT Negros Occidental leg. Avaricio, a two-time LPGT champion this year with an additional runner-up finish, also looms as a strong contender, her consistency and composure setting her apart.

Superal and Singson, both tested by stints on the Japan Step Up Tour and China Tour respectively, bring valuable overseas experience that could prove crucial in navigating the pressure and conditions of the TLPGA circuit. Harmie Constantino, the dominant force of last year's LPGT season with four titles and another Order of Merit crown, is out to end her title drought with a breakthrough performance abroad.

Other notable players joining the fray are Lois Kaye Go, Martina Miñoza, Velinda Castil, Gretchen Villacencio, Annika Cedo, Marvi Monsalve, Rev Alcantara, Kristine Fleetwood, Monica Mandario, Marjorie Pulumbarit, Jiwon Lee, Eunhua Nam, and Seo Yun Kim. With talent, momentum, and an unrelenting desire to make history, the LPGT squad enters the Party Golfers Ladies Open not just as participants but as genuine contenders hungry to carve their names into the TLPGA record books.

As they tee off on November 19, these talented Filipinas are poised to create a memorable moment in Philippine women's golf. Will they finally capture that elusive TLPGA crown? Only time will tell.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
