PETALING JAYA: Sarawak-born Mirabel Ting has clinched her LPGA Tour card for the 2027 season, capping a remarkable first season on the Epson Tour.

The Epson Tour organisers announced that Mirabel has become the first to qualify for the prestigious women's professional golf series through the Race to the Card standings. 

There are still two more Epson Tour tournaments to go and Mirabel is at the top with  2,200.000 points ahead of Mexican Lauren Olivares (2,128.817) and American Kaleiya Romero (1,714.509).   

The top 15 golfers at the end of the Race to the Card standings earn full playing rights for the LPGA Tour next year. 

The Miri-born golfer has made the most of her first professional season, making the cut in 15 of her 17 Epson Tour starts while recording two victories and 11 top 10 finishes so far.

Her breakthrough season included a runner-up finish at the Hartford HealthCare Women's Championship before she claimed her first professional victories at the Smoky Mountain Championship and Dream First Bank Charity Classic, which propelled her to the top spot in the Race for the Card standings.
