The 2025 LPGA season was a strange one. Nelly Korda didn’t win, but there were 29 different winners and it felt like everyone else did. Gino Titicle dominated everything that mattered until the end, but with only two wins (no major wins) no one really dominated.
LPGA will need more flash in 2026.

Here are five things we’d like to see at next season’s LPGA Inside the Ropes.
Charlie Hull wins major
Charlie Hull of England hits his tee shot on the third hole during the second round of the Grant Thornton Invitational 2025 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida on December 13, 2025.
The most marketable and willing player on the LPGA to put in the time is England’s Charlie Hull. The LPGA can certainly do more to raise Hull’s profile, especially in the United States, but the quickest way to get there is for Hull to win a major. She has come close before, taking a share of second place at last year’s AIG Women’s British Open at Royal Porthcawl. Hull, 29, has finished runner-up in major tournaments four times during his career.
Gino wins major
Gino Titikul of Thailand celebrates his winning putt on the 18th green during the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship 2025 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida on November 23, 2025.
While we are handing out major players, world No. 1 Titikul is delayed. She came close at this year’s Amundi Evian Championship and would have already been left off the list if not for Grace Kim’s global heroics. Titicle has nine top-10 finishes in 27 games in the majors, but the longer this goes on, the harder it becomes.

Ends on the Hollywood Riviera
Panoramic view of the clubhouse with the 10th tee during the third round of the Genesis Invitational held at Riviera Country Club on February 18, 2023 in Pacific Palisades, California.
A star-studded winner was eagerly awaited at the U.S. Women’s Open. What better place for that to happen than at Riviera Country Club, where Ben Hogan won the British Open in 1948? This is the first ever women’s major to be held on the Riviera, and it’s worth a week’s worth of stories. The right winner can also easily appear on late-night television and attract a lot of attention from outside the golf world in Los Angeles.
A stunning winner of the Solheim Cup
Helen Briem of Team Europe celebrates at the Junior Ryder Cup at the end of day three of the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome, Italy, September 28, 2023.
The Netherlands will have Solheim Cup rookies in 2026, but could one of them be 20-year-old Helen Briem? The 6-foot-3 powerhouse just earned his LPGA card for next season and is currently ranked 84th in the world. There are few events that can put a player in the spotlight quite like Bream, and the Tour could potentially feature another headliner.

Lydia Ko adds fourth different major
Lydia Ko speaks to the media during a press conference after winning the 2015 Evian Championship in Evian-les-Bains, France.
The new member of the LPGA Hall of Fame has won three majors: the 2015 Evian, the 2016 ANA Inspiration (now Chevron), and the 2024 AIG Women’s British Open.
She is still chasing the U.S. Women’s Open and KPMG Women’s PGA.
Coe believes he needs to win both to complete a career Grand Slam, but the tour disagrees, saying he only needs four matches.
Either way, that’s something I’d love to discuss next season.
