Leading contenders for the ANNIKA 2025
Nelly Korda
Nelly Korda has had a solid but winless 2025 season so far, with no tournament wins this year. Her best performances include a T2 finish at the 2025 US Women’s Open and a strong T4 at the LOTTE Championship.
Korda has made all 17 starts and cuts in 2025, with eight top-10 finishes, showing consistent form and resilience despite failing to win.
Her strengths remain hitting and pressing the ball, and she is a proven winner at The Annika, having claimed the title several times in recent years, including in 2024.
She enters this week as a top prospect with the goal of adding to her 15 LPGA Tour wins and solidifying her position in the Race to the CME Globe with a current top 10 points ranking.
Miyu Yamashita
Yamashita is known for her precise iron play and consistently high greens in the regular percentage, a statistic that has been instrumental to her competitive form this season.
Her rising form makes her a dark horse candidate at The Annika
Charley Hull
In 2025, Hull has achieved several notable finishes, including victory in the Kroger Queen City Championship and second place at the AIG Women’s Open.
Hull’s ability to hit low scores and score in groups positions her as a serious contender on Pelican Golf Club’s demanding layout.
Hye Jin Choi
Hye Jin Choi has put together a quietly effective 2025 season, marked by consistency with several top-10 finishes.
Choi’s calm demeanor and resilience allow her to maintain her competitiveness under pressure, making her a player to watch at The ANNIKA.
Lottie Woad
Rookie Lottie Woad continues to make significant progress in her first full LPGA Tour season in 2025.
She achieved a breakthrough win at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open in her last start as an amateur and then triumphed at the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open in her first start as a professional.
Woad’s rapid progress on the tour has made her one of the most exciting young contenders heading into this week’s tournament.
