ERIN, Wis. — The second major championship of the 2025 LPGA Tour season gets underway this week as the 80th edition of the U.S. Women’s Open presented by Ally is contested at Erin Hills Golf Course. It’s the first time in the championship’s history that the event will be played at this venue, which famously hosted the U.S. Open back in 2017, won by Brooks Koepka, and the tournament is visiting Wisconsin for the first time since 2012. The 156-player field features 24 of the top 25 players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, including No. 1 Nelly Korda, 2025 Mizuho Americas Open winner Jeeno Thitikul and LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko, and will also see eight past winners compete, most notably defending champion Yuka Saso, 2023 U.S. Women’s Open winner Allisen Corpuz and Australian Minjee Lee. There are nine LPGA Tour rookies in the field, including Epson Tour graduate and LPGA Tour winner Ingrid Lindblad, and a whopping 41 athletes will make their debut in this major championship, several of whom are amateurs.
