The LPGA Tour Q-School concluded with 99 players competing for 25 LPGA Tour cards for the 2025 season. World No.14 Miyu Yamashita emerged as the winner with a 27-under total, finishing six shots clear of her closest competitor. Despite challenging weather conditions that forced the final round into Tuesday, 26 players secured their playing rights for the upcoming season in Mobile, Alabama.
Yamashita, who already has 13 LPGA of Japan Tour victories, earned medalist honors with rounds of 66, 71, 67, 63, and 64. She was followed by Chisato Iwai and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard in the standings, with both players finishing at 21 and 19-under-par respectively. Other notable names who secured LPGA Tour cards include LET winners Azahara Munoz and Manon De Roey, as well as Yu Liu, who has made 165 career starts on the LPGA Tour.
In addition to established professionals, rising stars from the amateur circuit also secured LPGA Tour cards, including Julia Lopez Ramirez and Adela Cernousek. Both players turned professional shortly before Q-School and finished inside the top 25 to claim their cards. Cernousek, the 2024 NCAA Division I Individual champion, finished 11-under, while Ramirez, a European Ladies Amateur Championship winner, finished 12-under.
However, there were notable names who missed out on LPGA Tour cards, including former Solheim Cup and LPGA Tour winner Bronte Law, LET Order of Merit winner Chiara Tamburlini, and former Major champion Sophia Popov. Despite their efforts, they fell short of the top 25 mark needed to secure a card for the upcoming season.
Overall, the LPGA Tour Q-School was a thrilling event that saw a mix of established professionals and rising stars securing their playing rights for the 2025 season. With players like Miyu Yamashita leading the pack and new names like Julia Lopez Ramirez and Adela Cernousek making their mark, the upcoming season promises to be an exciting one. Fans can look forward to watching these talented golfers compete on the LPGA Tour and see how they fare against some of the best players in the world.
