The 2016 LPGA Tour and Symetra Tour Q-school decided the fate of 45 LPGA Tour cards for 2017, with Jaye Marie Green winning the 90-hole tournament at 13-under 347 by a shot over Olafia Kristinsdottir of Iceland.
Green won LPGA Q-School Finals for the second time in her career, doing so in 2013 as well. She's the first person in modern LPGA history to win Q-School Finals more than once.
All told, 20 players earned LPGA Tour cards through Category 17 of the priority order. Another 34 players earned conditional LPGA Tour status through Category 20 of the priority order, as any player who finished from 21st through a tie for 45th place earn some kind of status.
Making the cut at Q-school earned Symetra Tour status for next season.
