A range of criteria was developed to identify the top 16 players on the LPGA Tour between 2010 and 2019 for the LPGA Player of the Decade bracket. Each player has been a member on Tour during the last 10 years and each has won a major championship or been ranked No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings. While several of the players have significant accomplishments outside of the decade, only their feats during the last 10 years were used to determine their eligibility and seeding.
Here is the qualifying criteria for the LPGA Player of the Decade bracket:
Number of Major Championships
Number of Victories on Tour
Rolex Player of the Year
Vare Trophy
Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year
Rolex Annika Major Award
Money Title
Olympic Medal
LPGA Tour Hall of Fame
Team Appearances – Solheim Cup and UL International Crown
