All five majors have now been concluded for the 2025 LPGA season. For the second straight year, Japanese golfers have won multiple majors. A year ago Yuka Saso, who changed nationalities after originally representing the Philippines, won the United States Open in Lancaster. Saso’s win was followed by a victory by Ayaka Furue of Kobe, who won the Evian Masters. Furue also won the 2024 Vare Trophy, presented to the golfer with the lowest scoring average. Furue had a scoring average of 69.988 points.
Then this year, Mao Saigo of Funabashi, who was the LPGA Rookie of the Year in 2024, won the Chevron Championship. Saigo’s title was followed by Miyu Yamashita of Neyagawa, who won the AIG Women’s British Open in Porthcawl, Wales on Sunday. This was the first time ever that the AIG Women’s British Open was in Wales.
