LPGA Records 17 Different Winners to Start Season

The 2025 LPGA Tour season is marked by unprecedented parity, with 17 consecutive tournaments yielding different winners, a first in the tour's 75-year history. This level of diversity contrasts with last year’s dominance by Nelly Korda, who won five straight tournaments and finished with seven victories but has yet to secure a win halfway through the current season. The recent Dow Championship saw South Korean teammates Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im claim the title, underscoring the global competitiveness evident this year, as players from eight countries have won tournaments. No winners from the top 16 teams at the Dow Championship had won earlier in the season, further highlighting the unpredictability. Korda acknowledges the evolving challenge, emphasizing that the competition is intensifying annually and success requires riding the wave of golf’s inherent variability. The top 10 women’s world rankings include players from eight countries, reflecting the broad international talent reshaping the LPGA landscape.
