From the official Priority Eligibility document posted at LPGA.com dated 04/27/09, the day immediately following the Corona Championship (event #7 on the schedule):

Reordering: For the 9th through 15th LPGA tournaments of the year, players who were in Categories 13 through 20 at the beginning of the season will be reordered with priority based on the order of the current year's LPGA Official Money List as of the 7th official LPGA tournament of the year, falling in priority behind Category 12. 

This document is the Priority listing that was used from the beginning of the season through last week's Michelob Ultra Open.  The only difference between that document and the current Priority document is that Michelle Wie is now listed in Category 8 (as she should be).  The expected changes to Categories 13 through 20 which I quoted above are not reflected, and the list of alternates in the field at Sybase (event #9) clearly follow that unaltered portion of the Priority list.

Why weren't those changes made, especially when the change to Wie's status WAS made?  The wording for moving players into Category 8 exactly matches the wording for reordering Categories 13 through 20.  If anybody at the LPGA office is reading this, what is going on here?

I posted the expected changes over two weeks ago, saw the "updated" Priority document the following day and have been waiting for the rest of the changes to be implemented.  I don't believe there is a misunderstanding about the event numbering (as Phil brought up in the comments) because Wie was re-positioned correctly.  There have been several times where I've erred in my estimations of such things because I didn't have complete information or just plain messed up.  But the passage from Page 11 of the document is so specific and clear, I am totally bewildered here.

What difference does it make?  Today Becky Lucidi and Carri Wood teed off while Anna Nordqvist could not.  Jimin Jeong would not have had to Monday-qualify, which would have allowed Tracy Hanson (the third-place Monday finisher) into the event.  I imagine for those two who are not playing, it is a rather big deal.  Next week at Corning, which other deserving players will get left out?  As described, the LPGA Priority process is outstanding - one I've praised ever since it was announced.  As executed, it is a complete sham.
