Yana Wilson is the fifth Epson Tour member to earn her 2026 LPGA card.

Wilson, 19, is currently atop the Epson Tour’s Race for the Card standings and second on the tour’s money list at $138,581 after winning her second event of the season — the Dream First Bank Charity Classic on Aug. 24 in Garden City, Kan.

From Henderson, Nev., she has nine top-10 finishes in 16 Epson Tour events this season with just one missed cut.

“It feels pretty cool. I mean, there’s still more work to be done,” Wilson said about clinching her spot. “I have other goals in mind that I want to achieve, so, you know, job not done.”

Wilson joins Melanie Green, Gina Kim, Briana Chacon and Japan’s Erika Hara as the top-five competitors in the Race for the Card standings to already have clinched 2026 LGPA Tour spots. There are 10 spots still up for grabs with three events left this season.

The final list of 15 golfers who earned LPGA cards will be determined after the Epson Tour Championship in Indian Wells, Calif., from Oct 2-5.
