Miami sophomore Scarlett Schremmer has been disqualified from the Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican for using a green-reading yardage book during competition. Schremmer, who was making her LPGA debut, shot 69-74 to miss the cut.
The LPGA issued the following statement:
"Schremmer violated Model Local Rule G-11, which, per the LPGA Rules of Play Card, is in effect during all LPGA Tour competitions, except at off-site local qualifying events. This Model Local Rule requires that players are limited throughout their round to using only the yardage book that has been approved for use in the competition."
The LPGA first learned of the potential violation on Thursday but didn't take action until photo evidence was provided on Saturday.
Kai Trump was
invited back to compete in the penultimate event on the LPGA schedule, @theANNIKAlpga, but had to turn it down after having another wrist surgery. The invite instead went to Scarlett Schremmer, a promising Miami teammate whose mom played on the LPGA. Trump was out… pic.twitter.com/TrOppl7MHt

LPGA veteran Perrine Delacour played alongside Schremmer in the first two rounds and, prior to teeing off in Round 3, posted a comment on the Instagram account of Ryan French, better known on social media as "Monday Q Info."
"Can we talk about the yardage [book] illegal and LPGA trust the sponsor invite over 2 LPGA players and 2 caddies," Delacour wrote in a comment on French's post.
Delacour, when reached by Golfweek in a message, said that she had handled the situation with the tour.
Schremmer is a two-time winner for Miami this fall and a member of the USGA's 2026 Elite Amateur Program. She was invited to compete in the tournament by Pelican Golf Club after Kai Trump was unable to play due to surgery. Schremmer's mother, Patricia Ehrhart, a former LPGA player, was her caddie this week.
"I had a green reading yardage book in my bag this week that’s allowed in college golf but isn’t permitted on the LPGA Tour," Schremmer wrote in a statement provided to Golfweek. "That’s on me. I should have checked, and it’s a lesson learned. I had a great week competing out here and I’m grateful to the Doyle family, Pelican and the LPGA for the opportunity. I am excited to continue to work with the goal of playing out here again. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported me this week."
