2025 LPGA Major Season Recap: History Made All Year Long 🏆

Take a Look Back at Each 2025 Major Championship on the LPGA Tour 🏆

Hey golf girlies! The 2025 major championship season was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and I am here to break it all down for you! This five-tournament series brought us four athletes collecting their first career major titles, three countries adding to their major victory counts, and two athletes triumphing in epic playoffs. Let us relive some of the history that was made during the LPGA's 75th anniversary season! ⛳

The Chevron Championship - Mao Saigo 🇯🇵

Mao Saigo made MAJOR headlines when she won her first major title at The Chevron Championship 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 - the largest playoff in LPGA major championship history! Talk about pressure! The LPGA Tour sophomore then outlasted major champions Ariya Jutanugarn, Hyo Joo Kim and Ruoning Yin, plus Epson Tour alum Lindy Duncan to hoist the Dinah Shore Trophy and become a Rolex First-Time Winner. What a way to kick off major season!

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, with Maja Stark claiming victory at the 80th U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally at Erin Hills in Erin, Wisconsin. Stark successfully tackled the lengthy, 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. Stark joined Liselotte Neumann and Annika Sorenstam as the third-ever Swedish winner of the U.S. Women's Open. Swedish golf excellence continues! 💪

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 legends Karrie Webb and Jan Stephenson. Aussie power! 🦘

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. The drama was REAL! 🎭

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 way to close out major season! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
