LPGA Class A Tour members who join the LPGA Professionals membership will have a membership status of LPGA A-2.
The chart below lists the requirements to complete the LPGA Professionals Class A certification.
LPGA Class A Tour members are exempt from the Level I and II education programs and testing. The LPGA Professionals membership will provide LPGA Class A Tour members with the Level I & II manuals (as digital copies only) in order to prepare for the final testing requirements. The online knowledge checks serve as a study guide to review this material; they are not pass/fail.
