As the final stretch of the LPGA season starts in two weeks, lets eyeball the Wounded Warrior Project Weekend and the eagles that build funds for the cause.

The Wounded Warrior Weekend takes place during the final two rounds at LPGA tournaments (final round only in 54-hole events), with CME Group donating $1,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project for each eagle that is recorded. This amount will increase to $5,000 for each eagle during the weekend of the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and a formal check will be presented to the Wounded Warrior Project during the trophy ceremony.

Here’s a "By The Numbers" to prepare for the conclusion:

1 & 22: The weekend eagle totals this year have varied from a season-low one (ShopRite LPGA Classic) to a high of 22 (Ricoh Women’s British Open).

7: The number of tournaments remaining this season.

8: The most eagles made in one of the remaining tournaments during the 2014 season, the 2014 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The others include: Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia, 5; LPGA-KEB Hana Bank Championship, 5; Blue Bay LPGA, 1; Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship, 3; LPGA Japan Classic, 5; and CME Group Tour Championship, 0.

12: Sei Young Kim’s season-high total of eagles, which is followed by Lexi Thompson with 11, Minjee Lee with 10, Amy Yang with eight and Michelle Wie, Suzann Pettersen and Yani Tseng with seven apiece.

209: The number of eagles this year on the weekend and $209,000 raised. A total of 74 eagles need to be made to match last year’s total, an average of 10.6 per week.

283: For the 2014 season, the number of eagles made on the weekend, raising $283,000. While no eagles were made on the weekend in Naples, the CME Group generously rounded up to $300,000. The 2014 season also had a lot of aces and double eagles. Of the 31 holes in one, 15 came in weekend play. Of a record four double eagles during the year, three were scored on the weekend.
