On the LPGA, you probably would have thought Lydia Ko or Ariya Jutanugarn would have won by now. On the Epson Tour, you might have guessed that Augusta James or Emma Talley or Erica Popson or Clariss Guce would have won by now. Nope.

It has been a rather unpredictable year to say the least.

The Epson Tour heads into its eighth event this week in Albany and nobody has won twice. In fact, there have been six first-time winners. Meanwhile, the LPGA Tour heads into its 13th event of the season in Atlantic City and nobody has won twice.

On the Epson Tour side, here are a list of winners:

Florida’s Natural Charity Classic – Olivia Jordan-Higgins
IOA Championship – Daniela Darquea
Gateway Classic at Longbow Golf Club – Liv Cheng
POC Med Golf Classic – Hyemin Kim
Sara Bay Classic – Hannah Green
Epson Classic – Nanna Koerstz Madsen

Jordan-Higgins – who won the first event of the year – is the only repeat winner from previous years.
