Hello Wie Nation: 
I finally figured out how this race works, and Michelle still has a good chance to win the “Race to the CME Globe Award”
Currently, Michelle is in 4th place, 1,845 points behind Stacy…
But, Michelle is only 318 points behind Lydia Ko….
But, Lydia ko is in entered in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia; and has a chance to earn more points, and increase her lead over Michelle….
Michelle, in her last 6 tournaments needs to earn enough points to be in one of the top 3 in Points Position….
The resetting of points will even out the top three players for the final tournament…
It’s going to be fun and exciting watching Michelle perform after all this time off?

Two big purses and two big winner’s payouts will be on the line during the final day of the CME Group Tour Championship. The winner of the CME Group Tour Championship will take home a $500,000 first-place prize, while the player who has accumulated the most points in the season-long points competition will be announced as the Race to the CME Globe champion with a $1 million unofficial money payout – the largest in all of women’s golf.
Points will then be reset for the CME Group Tour Championship to ensure that the points race will be won at the season-ending tournament. Reset Points will give top yearly performers an advantage but not guarantee victory.
The points that a player earns at the CME Group Tour Championship will be added to her Reset Points, and the player with the highest points total will be named the winner of the Race to the CME Globe.
