Ladies, what a year it has been for the LPGA Tour!
The 2025 major championship season was absolutely electric, featuring a five-tournament series that saw four incredible athletes capture their first career major titles. Three countries added to their major victory columns, and two champions emerged through absolutely epic playoffs.
Let us take a look back at the history that was made during the LPGA's 75th anniversary season.
The Chevron Championship: Mao Saigo
Mao Saigo made headlines when she won her first major title at The Chevron Championship, the opening major of the 2025 LPGA Tour season held at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas. After shooting a 74 in the final round, the Japan native found herself in a five-way playoff at the end of regulation, which was the largest playoff in LPGA major championship history. The LPGA Tour sophomore ultimately outlasted major champions Ariya Jutanugarn, Hyo Joo Kim, and Ruoning Yin, along with Epson Tour alum Lindy Duncan, to hoist the Dinah Shore Trophy and become a Rolex First-Time Winner.
U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally: Maja Stark
For only the sixth time in LPGA Tour history, an athlete from Sweden won a major title when Maja Stark claimed victory at the 80th U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally at Erin Hills in Erin, Wisconsin. Stark successfully tackled the lengthy and challenging venue to secure a two-stroke victory over two-time major champion Nelly Korda and two-time Tour winner Rio Takeda. It was the 26-year-old's second career victory and first major championship title since she joined the LPGA Tour in 2022 following her non-member win at the ISPS Handa World Invitational. Stark joined Liselotte Neumann and Annika Sorenstam as the third-ever Swedish winner of the U.S. Women's Open.
KPMG Women's PGA Championship: Minjee Lee
Minjee Lee triumphed at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship to earn her third major championship title at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Texas. The Australian won by three shots over two-time LPGA Tour winner Chanettee Wannasaen and Epson Tour graduate Auston Kim. It was Lee's 11th career victory on the LPGA Tour and first since the 2023 BMW Ladies Championship. The 29-year-old became both the 31st player in LPGA Tour history to win three or more major championships and the third athlete from Australia to capture three or more major titles, joining Karrie Webb and Jan Stephenson.
The Amundi Evian Championship: Grace Kim
Grace Kim emerged victorious in Evian-les-Bains, France, defeating current Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul in one of the most thrilling two-hole playoffs in LPGA Tour history at the fourth major championship of the season. With Kim's win, she became just the fifth Australian to win a major championship and the second to claim a major victory at The Amundi Evian Championship since the event was first designated as such in 2013. Kim also became the third consecutive player in the last three years to earn her first major title at Evian Resort Golf Club, alongside Japan's Ayaka Furue and Frenchwoman Celine Boutier.
AIG Women's Open: Miyu Yamashita
Miyu Yamashita was one of seven rookies to win during the 2025 LPGA Tour season, claiming her first victory at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. She joined Miranda Wang, Rio Takeda, Akie Iwai, Chisato Iwai, Ingrid Lindblad, and Lottie Woad as Rolex First-Time Winners. The Japanese rookie, who went on to secure 2025 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year honors, hoisted the AIG Women's Open trophy when she defeated Charley Hull and Minami Katsu by two shots in the year's final major championship. Not only did the 24-year-old Yamashita pick up her first career LPGA Tour title in Wales, but she also became a major champion with her 2-under 70 in the final round.
What a memorable season of major championship golf! These women showed us exactly what excellence looks like on the biggest stages in the game.
