Top players highlight the full field for the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills
TOWN OF ERIN – The U.S. Women's Open begins Monday, May 26, with practice rounds for the 156 participants in the tournament at Erin Hills, 90 of which were fully exempt into the field and did not have to go through qualifying stages to get in. Among those exempt were eight U.S. Women's Open champions, beginning with two-time winner and defending champion Yuka Saso (2021, 2024). Other past champions include In Gee Chun (2015), Sung Hyun Park (2017), Ariya Jutanugarn (2018), Jeongeun Lee6 (2019), A Lim Kim (2020), Minjee Lee (2022) and Allisen Corpuz (2023). Advertisement Corpuz played in the 2008 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links at Erin Hills as a 10-year-old. "It's awesome," she said on May 26 after her practice round. "I wish I remembered more of it from when I was younger, but I just remember how awesome this property is and how nice the practice facilities are. I mean, that was my first USGA championship, so I remember just coming on-site and just being really, really impressed, and here I am 17 years later and still really impressed by how you guys run a championship." Allisen Corpuz plays her shot from the second tee during the third round of the 2025 Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass at Whirlwind Golf Club. Along with being a championship that is open to any player who could qualify, it is also perhaps the most democratic of the five majors on the LPGA Tour – there has not been a repeat champion since Karrie Webb (2000-01) and there have been 21 different champions in the 23 tournaments since then. Advertisement Only Saso and Inbee Park (2008 and 2013) have won the tournament multiple times since Webb's back-to-back. "I could call myself a two-time major champion, and better than that, two-time U.S. Women's Open champion," Saso said after her practice round at Erin Hills on May 26. "I think it's a great tournament to have beside my name, and – I don't know, maybe because I dreamed of winning this, and winning it twice is much better." Not only does the championship rarely produce back-to-back winners, but the defending champion is also hardly ever in contention the next year. The last time a defending champion finished in the top 10 was in 2020 when Jeongeun Lee (who goes by Jeongeun Lee6 for scoring purposes to differentiate herself from other Korean golfers with the same name) finished sixth. Lee6 was the first defending champ to crack the top 10 since Juli Inkster followed up her 2002 title with an eighth-place finish in 2003. The top LPGA Tour players in the world are at Erin Hills The U.S. Women's Open is the second major championship on the LPGA Tour's schedule, and as expected the top players in the Women's World Golf Rankings are all teeing it up. Advertisement The entire top 20 in the world rankings are in the field. That group is headlined by world No. 1 Nelly Korda, who has held that position for 52 weeks per GolfWeek. Since joining the LPGA Tour in 2017, the 26-year-old has held the No. 1 spot on five different occasions.

Chisato Iwaim won the tournament, but she was already exempt into the U.S. Women's Open – which meant the first alternate from local qualifying got in. That player is 32-year-old Dana Fall of Mesa, Arizona. It will be her first appearance in the major championship.

5 things to know about the 80th U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills Golf Course
5 things to know about the 80th U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills Golf Course The 80th U.S. Women's Open will be contested at Erin Hills Golf Course for the first time this week, but the public course is no stranger to USGA competitions. In fact, this marks the fifth USGA championship held at the Wisconsin course since it first opened for public play in 2006. Five additional USGA championships are already on the docket by 2039. As the best women in the world get set to compete May 29 to June 1, here are five things to know ahead of the longest-running professional tournament in women's golf. Past champions of the U.S. Women's Open Tiffany Joh won the first USGA championship ever hosted at Erin Hills a mere two years after the course opened in 2008. In fact, the links-style inland course was awarded the now defunct U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links before it officially opened. Joh, the former UCLA player and LPGA pro, clinched her second WAPL title by defeating U.S. Women's Amateur champion Jennifer Song. Other champions at Erin Hills include Kelly Kraft (2011 U.S. Amateur), Brooks Koepka (2017 U.S. Open) and Matthew McClean (2022 U.S. Mid-Amateur). Fans should prepare for chilly weather at 2025 U.S. Women's Open The forecast calls for chilly temps in Erin, Wisconsin, early week, with highs in the mid to low 60s Monday through Wednesday. It warms up to the mid-70s for competition rounds with partly cloudy skies and winds ranging from 9-11 mph and weekend gusts up to 18 mph. With little water and no out of bounds, the teeth of the golf golf course is the bunkers and wind. The field of 156 is highlighted by Nelly Korda The number of entries for this week's championship was the second all-time highest at 1,904, second only to Pebble Beach in 2023 (2,107). The field of 156 is highlighted by world No. 1 Nelly Korda, No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul and recent U.S. Women's Open champions Yuka Saso (2024, 2021), Allisen Corpuz (2023) and Minjee Lee (2022). For three players, a victory at Erin Hills would give them a fourth different LPGA major: Lydia Ko, Yani Tseng and Anna Nordqvist. Tseng, a five-time major winner who is now putting left-handed, advanced through qualifying to make her first USWO start in nine years. Lexi Thompson and Amy Yang have the most experience in the field with 19 championship appearances. Thirty-year-old Thompson hasn't missed a Women's Open since age 12. Who are the notable amateurs at the 2025 U.S. Women's Open? Notable amateurs in the field include top-ranked Lottie Woad, USGA champion Asterisk Talley, 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur champion Carla Bernat Escuder, recent NCAA champion Maria Jose Marin and two-time USGA champion Rianne Malixi, who is making her championship debut. There are 26 amateurs in the field and 10 are in the top 50 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Erin Hills is a big golf course Official yardage for the women checks in at a hefty 6,829 yards, though that's likely to change throughout the week depending on weather. Eight years ago, the men played from 7,721 yards and Koepka's winning score of 16 under matched the lowest in championship history, set by Rory McIlroy in 2011 at Congressional Country Club. Low scores in 2017 were aided by the fact that the wind didn't blow early week. The women will play to a par 72. In 2017, Nos. 3 and 4, both par 4s, proved to be the toughest holes on the expansive property. Considered to be a second-shot golf course, there will be a premium placed on course strategy and the ability to work the ball both ways. Largest purse in women's pro golf at U.S. Women's Open The U.S. Women's Open continues to offer the largest purse in golf at $12 million. The winner this week will earn more than $2 million. The USGA was the first major to offer a $1 million paycheck to the winner in 2019. In 2022, the championship's purse nearly doubled to $10 million. Players who miss the cut will receive $10,000, the same as the U.S. Open.

Co-leader at Mexico Riviera Maya Open Brianna Do needs to win to get in U.S. Women's Open
Co-leader at Mexico Riviera Maya Open Brianna Do needs to win to get in U.S. Women's Open PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — The 2025 U.S. Women's Open has 156 available spots and 155 of them are claimed. The winner of this week's LPGA stop, the 2025 Mexico Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba, if she's not already in the feld, will get that last spot. If that last spot goes to American Brianna Do, well, her timing couldn't be any better. She's making her first LPGA start of the year and a win this week will get her in. Do joined a crowded leaderboard late Thursday in Mexico after posting 4-under 68 in the afternoon wave. That put her in a tie for the overnight lead with Chisato Iwai, Jenny Shin and Bianca Pagdanganan, who all played in the morning. Do started her round birdie-par-par-birdie before making an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole. "I hit a good drive kind of down the left side. I kind of had a perfect number for a 5-wood. I think it landed just on the front, rolled all the way up to about seven feet and I made the putt," she said. "Pretty stress-free eagle." Do, 35, played collegiately at UCLA and in 2011 won the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links. She joined the LPGA in 2013. Her best pro season has been 2018 when she made 16 cuts in 22 events. She's played in the U.S. Open three times, once as an amateur in 2012, again in 2014 and then most recently in 2018. She's missed the cut all three times. There's a long way to go in this week on the Yucatan Peninsula, but if she keeps it up, she might just get that last coveted spot on the tee sheet at Erin Hills. "It was pretty cool getting into this event. I had never really played here in Cancun area. I've played as a junior golfer in Guadalajara, and that was a lot of fun," she said. "I don't know, I kind of came in wanting to capitalize on the opportunity and doing the best that I can and so I put up a good number today. See how the next three days goes."
