In a groundbreaking decision, the LPGA has granted a rare age waiver to 17-year-old Gianna Clemente, enabling her to compete in the upcoming LPGA Q School. This move allows Clemente, who has already made headlines by qualifying for multiple prestigious amateur events, to pursue her dream of playing professionally before reaching the age of 18. The decision reflects the LPGA's commitment to nurturing young talent and could set a precedent for future players looking to make an early entry into professional golf.
