The LPGA has played its last official tournament. The 2025 season has now come to a close, and what a season it was. There were records set in many different categories. It turned out to be one of the most exciting seasons ever! I have put together all the important stats from the season that has just ended. Not just the obvious ones, but some numbers that you probably will not find anywhere else. womensgolf.com/the-2025-lpga-season-by-the-numbers
Brooks and LIV have elected to 'amicably' terminate his contract. the first brick to fall i am sure. he's 1,000% coming back to the PGA.
I wonder how it will work. He resigned his membership, which renders many of the levers he could pull for a yearly exemption (top 50 all time money list, etc) null. Obviously, I know they will find a way to get him back - maybe they will offer membership to any major winner with exemptions not already on tour (usually 5 years). That covers Brooks, Rahm, Bryson and Cam Smith. Figure out a way to get Niemann and Reed back (I don’t like him, but I love to root against him!) and then let LIV die, including Phil. Dude is too far gone.
i think Rahm is back for sure, i feel like as long as he still qualifies for the majors, Bryson is going to be happy playing LIV and keeping up with the Youtube content. If Brooks and Rahm are back on the PGA Bryson is basically the face of LIV Golf.
I wonder how much money LIV is going to offer Rahm/Bryson/Cam to stay with them. I'd have to imagine it's an insane amount.
i think rahm would give money BACK to leave. it couldnt be more clear he regrets the decision. I think Cam Smith stays there too.
Cam Smith said today he is staying with LIV, and it looks like Bryson will be as well. All eyes now on Rahm.
I have been asked many times how the LPGA constructs their field lists for tournaments. The Priority List is what is used to fill the required amount of spots for any given tournament. Below you can find the 2026 LPGA Priority List: womensgolf.com/the-2026-lpga-priority-list
Arguably the one domino people would prefer stayed in LIV. lol I feel like if Rahm was 1 more year into his contract with LIV he would have jumped, but I have to assume the amount of money he'd be forced to give back to LIV (not including PGA fines) is what will ultimately keep him put.
Excited for P to come back. Golf and sports in general are better when you have someone to root against. Plus, the guy is an absolute flusher of the golf ball. I love his swing.
It is getting more and more difficult each year to narrow this down to just 40 players because the LPGA keeps getting stronger every year. Last year we had winners from 11 different countries. We had twenty-nine different winners (an LPGA record) and just 2 multiple winners. We had 12 first time winners (also an LPGA record). There are so many great players that can win on any given week. How can you pick just forty? Well, I am going to give it a try even if it means leaving some very good players off this list. womensgolf.com/top-40-player-of-the-year-predictions-for-2026
The crazy thing about Golf is given weekly variance, and the rub of the green, anyone on the LPGA could truly look like a world beater in any given week. It’s very rare on the PGA, even when someone is blowing the doors off the field, to feel the same way. Even when Jacob Bridgeman had a half dozen shot lead going into the final round last week, there was no part of me that felt confident he would cruise to victory. I am happy he won and I’m happy that tour is developing new, younger talent, but separating for a couple days is not nearly the same as separating for a week, a month, or a year. Tournament Golf will always reveal your warts, even and perhaps, especially when you’re doing everything you can to minimize them. That’s why anyone who doesn’t appreciate what Scottie has done the last four years astounds me.
