Amy Yang has returned to the ring after winning the CME Group Tour Championship. She also won the first-place prize of $2 million. Yang will not hit any shots. According to lpga.com, the five-time LPGA champion is caddying for Jennifer Song at LPGA Q-Series.
Yang, 34, played his last LPGA Q-School game in 2008. He agreed to return this year to assist Song, who placed 149th on CME’s points list which determines LPGA membership. The top 100 players on the CME list are granted full LPGA status every year.
Song, 33 missed 11 cuts on tour during 18 starts in 2023. Song, the 2009 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links and U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Champion, has made $3,006,404 in her career and 13 top-10 finishes.

Song is among 104 players competing over the Falls & Crossings course. After Round 4, the cut will be made to 65 or less and ties.
The top 20 players will receive a LPGA card, while those who finish among the top 45 or ties earn a status higher.
