Teen Titans battle for CLPG Tour supremacy

Much is at stake at this week's season-ending CLPG Tour Championship, set to start Thursday at Mission Hills Resort Haikou in Hainan province, as the 800,000 yuan ($113,205) tournament will determine who will claim the points rankings crown and a full-time playing card on the KLPGA Tour.

The race has been whittled down to competitive 18-year-old duo Wang Zixuan and Pang Runzhi. Both have won on the CLPG Tour this season, with Wang currently leading the rankings with 348.025 points to Pang's 306.267 points.

However, if Pang wins this week, no matter what place Wang finishes, Pang will directly win the points rankings crown. Pang can also still win overall if she finishes second and Wang places lower than third.

With a playing card for the 2026 season in Korea on offer to the winner, Wang is ultimately in control of her own destiny and must post a higher finish than Pang.

The Beijing native, who has been pro for 18 months, started the year strongly, winning the Golfjoy Women's Open for her maiden CLPG Tour title. After equal runner-up finishes at the Beijing Women's Challenge in May and the Women's China Open in October, she missed the cut at the Aramco China Championship last month and was equal 36th at last week's inaugural Wanning Women's Open.
