The LPGA Tour released its 2025 schedule on Wednesday featuring 35 events during which the world’s best female golfers will compete for $131 million in prize money, which is the largest total purse in the circuit’s 75-year history.

The schedule will see the LPGA Tour play in 14 states across the United States - starting with the January 30-February 2 Tournament of Champions at Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida - and 11 other countries, including two multi-event Asian swings.

The combined purse total for the five majors will top $47 million, the highest in the LPGA Tour’s 75-year history.

The first women’s major of the season - The Chevron Championship - will be held from April 24-27 at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas.
