==LPGA Tour awards==
The LPGA Tour presents several annual awards. Three are awarded in competitive contests, based on scoring over the course of the year. 
*The Player of the Year is awarded based on a formula in which points are awarded for top-10 finishes and are doubled at the LPGA's five major championships. The points system is: 30 points for first; 12 points for second; nine points for third; seven points for fourth; six points for fifth; five points for sixth; four points for seventh; three points for eighth; two points for ninth and one point for 10th.
*The Vare Trophy, named for [[Glenna Collett-Vare]], is given to the player with the lowest scoring average for the season.
*The Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year Award is awarded to the first-year player on the LPGA Tour who scores the highest in a points competition in which points are awarded based on a player's finish in an event. The points system is: 150 points for first; 80 points for second; 75 points for third; 70 points for fourth; and 65 points for fifth. After fifth place, points are awarded in decrements of three, beginning at sixth place with 62 points. Points are doubled in the major events and at the season-ending Tour Championship. Rookies who make the cut in an event and finish below 41st each receive five points. The award is named after [[Louise Suggs]], one of the founders of the LPGA.

American golfer [[Nancy Lopez]], in 1978, is the only player to win all three awards in the same season. Lopez was also the Tour's top money earner that season.
