My field rating for this Major Championship is a super 82.5%, which is exactly what it was a year ago.
My breakdown is 83% from the LPGA Priority List and 82% from the Rolex Rankings.
Every player in the top 25 of the Rolex Rankings will be teeing it up this week.
The field loses a few points as this tournament has a number of LET players that are not ranked in the top 100 of the Rolex Rankings. To make room for those players, the number of LPGA players invited here are less than in a full field LPGA event. Some of those LPGA players not invited are in the top 100 of the LPGA Priority List and would have brought up the field score if they were teeing it up.

Other Stuff:
Lydia Ko's missed cut last week stopped her streak of consecutive cuts made at 19. Ruoning Yin now has the longest ongoing streak with 19 straight.
With Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im winning the Dow Championship, Korea now has four tournament wins this year. They had just three wins all of last year.
With Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im both getting their first LPGA victories, the LPGA now has seven first time winners this year. There were only four all of last year.
The LPGA has now completed seventeen tournaments this year, and there has not been a repeat winner yet.

In the Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year Race:
Rio Takeda continues to have a big lead with 730 points, she is followed by Miyu Yamashita (556), Chisato Iwai (512), and Akie Iwai (364).

I will not report any movement on the Rolex Rankings for LPGA players as I usual do. The reason is the Dow Championship is not recognized as an event, and does not change the rankings at all. I will report again next week.

I will start reporting today (and the rest of the year), movement on the bottom of the Race to the CME Globe. These rankings are actually the most important rankings of them all for LPGA players. A player must finish in the top 100 of the Race to the CME Globe to maintain their full playing privileges for next year. I will not report on the top players, as they will all be playing next year, but concentrate on the bottom players fighting to keep their playing status for next year. The Dow Championship was counted here and some players took full advantage:
Albane Valenzuela greatly improved her position jumping up from 86 to 73.
Yuri Yushida did the same moving out of danger for the time being 82 to 74.
Gemma Dryburgh 84 to 75, Brooke Matthews 83 to 77, both put themselves in a much better position than before the Dow Championship was played.
Jiwon Jeon 101 to 89, and Jing Yan 106 to 97, both snuck into the very important top 100.
Kumkang Park 109 to 102, and Cheyenne Knight 126 to 108, both still have work to do but greatly improved their chances.
On the downside, Peiyun Chien 99 to 101, and Jeongeun Lee5, fell out of the top 100.
