In her 11th appearance at the tournament, Olympic gold medalist, Ko won the 2025 championship with a four-shot victory over Japan’s Ayaka Furue and Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul, following a steady final-round 69 that included three consecutive birdies starting at the sixth hole. The win marked the 23rd LPGA Tour title of her career.
“I’m really excited to be returning to the HSBC Women’s World Championship as the defending champion,” said Ko. “Winning this event, Asia’s major, has always been a goal of mine, and to finally achieve it was an incredible moment. The course, the fans, and the atmosphere in Singapore make it such a special tournament, and I feel so proud to have my name on the trophy. I’m excited to come back next year and give it my all in defending the title.”
Lydia Ko has enjoyed one of the most distinguished careers in women’s golf, with three major championships, three Olympic medals (bronze, silver, and gold) and last year became the youngest inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame at just 27 years old.
