The official 2025 LPGA Tour season is in the books. It was a thrilling season filled with intriguing storylines. Here are the top 10 of the year:
No. 10 – Sweden – While Sweden had an inconsistent season on the LPGA Tour, each of its four current stars got a win in 2025. Madelene Sagström got it started off with a huge win at the T-Mobile Match Play, followed immediately by rookie and fellow LSU Tiger Ingrid Lindblad getting her first win. Maja Stark was impressive at the U.S. Women’s Open, with a two-stroke victory and finally at The Annika driven by Gainbridge, Linn Grant also got a win, becoming the first Swedish player to win the tournament named after the country’s greatest golf icon.
No. 9 – USA Struggles – The United States didn’t have the strongest season on the LPGA Tour in 2025. In 2024, The United States won 12 tournaments during the season, obviously helped by Nelly Korda’s seven wins. In 2023, The United States won nine tournaments. In 2025, The United States had three wins, none after the first week of June. Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin won two of the first three tournaments of the season, while Kupcho won the ShopRite in the middle of Summer. Nelly Korda’s lack of wins were highly publicized, but fellow superstars Lilia Vu and Rose Zhang struggled mightily with injuries. It was a bit of a year to forget for the Red, White and Blue. There was a bit of redemption though, with a near win at the International Crown.
No. 8 – Major Championship Venues – No matter where the 2024 major championships were held, they inspired conversation. Evian is always controversial, even leading to some stars not playing in the event, but the other four also created quite the stir. Many found the layout of KPMG Women’s PGA Championship host Fields Ranch East uninspired and the setup borderline unfair. The Chevron created so much controversy and has proven to be so unpopular, that it appears to be headed away from The Club at Carlton Woods. On the flip side, many left the U.S. Women’s Open believing that Erin Hills should host more USGA events and Royal Porthcawl was beloved by players, fans and commentators.
No. 7 – Minjee Lee – Minjee Lee, for her standards, was terrible in 2024. Her putting led to a winless season with just four top-10 finishes. Right away, she made a change to a broom style long putter. Her strokes gained putting went from No. 157 to No. 2 in just one season. The result? 21/22 made cuts, eight top-10 finishes and a major championship win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She was also the strong, anchor player on the Australian team that won the International Crown. Minjee Lee was back in top form in 2025 thanks to unbelievable putting.
No. 6 – Lottie Woad – For a few weeks in the middle of the year, Lottie Woad was the biggest sensation in women’s golf. Like Rose Zhang a couple years ago, she transcended the sport. Coming off one of the best amateur careers in recent memory, Woad won on the LET as an amateur, then nearly won the Amundi Evian Championship, which earned her LPGA Tour status. She accepted that status and turned professional immediately. What was her next step? Winning her first event as a professional at the Scottish Open. It was a magical stretch of golf for the Englishwoman who is now one of the biggest European stars in the sport.
