Spanish standout earns LPGA Tour status after finishing fifth in 2026 Epson Tour points standings
MIAMI – Callaway® Apparel, developed by global fashion leader Perry Ellis International, congratulates brand ambassador Carla Bernat Escuder on earning her 2027 LPGA Tour card after an impressive rookie season on the Epson Tour. The 23-year-old from Castellon, Spain, finished fifth in the 2026 Epson Tour points standings securing her place on the LPGA Tour next season.
Bernat Escuder capped her first full season as a professional with five top-10 finishes, including a victory at the Guardian Championship. Her performance earned her LPGA Tour rookie status for 2027, marking another significant milestone in a rapidly ascending career.
“We are incredibly proud of Carla and everything she accomplished this season,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “Carla represents everything we value in a Callaway Apparel athlete—talent, determination, authenticity and a relentless commitment to getting better. Her journey from an accomplished collegiate career to winning on the Epson Tour and now earning her LPGA Tour card is remarkable. We are excited to continue supporting Carla as she takes this next step and represents Callaway Apparel on the LPGA Tour.”
Bernat Escuder entered the professional ranks following a standout amateur career highlighted by a victory at the 2025 Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship. She also competed in four major championships as an amateur in 2025 before turning professional.
Following her professional debut at the CPKC Women’s Open, where she finished T67, Bernat Escuder quickly established herself as one of the Epson Tour’s rising young stars.
“I just want to keep getting better and keep growing as a player,” said Bernat Escuder. “Hopefully one day, I don’t know if next year, hopefully I’ll get a win. I’m really excited for the opportunity to compete on the LPGA Tour and to see how far I can take my game.”
As she prepares for her first LPGA Tour season in 2027, Bernat Escuder will continue to represent Callaway Apparel both on and off the course, bringing the brand’s commitment to performance, style and innovation to golf’s highest level.
