Orlando — LPGA Tour Drops a Big 2025 Schedule and the Golf World Is Talking
The 2025 LPGA Tour schedule is out, and it’s a big one. Players and fans will see 33 official tournaments across the globe, a calendar that stretches from late January all the way through Thanksgiving month. Money is a headline too: the total purse for the season hits a record $131 million, the highest in the LPGA’s 75-year history. That number alone tells you the 2025 season is set to be competitive, wide open and impossible to ignore.
Season bookends: where it starts and where it ends
The familiar curtain-raiser is back. The Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions will open the season from January 30 to February 2, 2025, at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Florida. The season will then wind its way through multiple continents before finishing up at the CME Group Tour Championship, slated for November 20-23, 2025, at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida. That makes for a nearly year-round grind with plenty of time for storylines to build.
Where the action goes: states and countries
The LPGA’s 2025 map is truly global. Fans will see events across 14 U.S. states and in 11 other countries. The tour schedule includes a European swing in July and August and two multi-event Asian swings, giving players and followers plenty of variety and logistical challenges to keep things interesting.
Notable tournaments and winners so far
Several high-profile events stand out on the calendar. Among the notable stops and their listed winners:
- Founders Cup — February 6-9, 2025, Bradenton Country Club, Florida (winner: Yealimi Noh)
- Honda LPGA Thailand — February 20-23, 2025, Siam Country Club, Thailand (winner: Angel Yin)
- HSBC Women’s World Championship — February 27-March 2, 2025, Sentosa Golf Club, Singapore (winner: Lydia Ko)
- US Women’s Open — May 29-June 1, 2025, Erin Hills, Wisconsin (winner: Maja Stark)
- AIG Women’s Open — July 31-August 3, 2025, Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, Wales (winner: Miyu Yamashita)
Depth of competition and purse details
Competitive balance is a real storyline in 2025. After 21 events there were 22 different winners, a clear sign that no single player is dominating and that many names are ready to grab headlines. The tour also lifted money levels, with at least nine tournaments carrying bigger purses than last season. That boost helps attract stronger fields and raises the stakes week to week.
CPKC Women’s Open and other purse-specific notes
One highlighted stop is the CPKC Women’s Open, running August 21-24, 2025, at Mississaugua Golf & Country Club in Canada. Its total purse is $2.75 million, with the winner’s share set at $412,500 — a significant payday and one of the better payouts on the calendar outside the majors.
Events shelved and hopes for return
Not every scheduled event survived the financial shuffle. The Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship was shelved for financial reasons. Organizers and the tour have signaled hope for rescheduling later in the season, but for now it’s off the list. That kind of flip-flop is a reminder that even a growing global tour can face bumps.
What this means for fans and players
For fans, the variety of courses and locations means plenty of golf to follow and new faces rising to the top. For players, the bigger overall purse and several upgraded events create chances to move up money lists and earn valuable momentum. Expect surprise winners, tight leaderboards and a season that refuses to stay predictable. The schedule’s mix of long-established events and global venues makes 2025 feel like a fresh chapter for women’s golf — louder, broader and more competitive.
