Lydia Ko shares memento from her 2024 Major victory 

Lydia Ko, the No. 3-ranked golfer in the women's World Golf Rankings, recently posted a memento on her Instagram story from her victory in the 2024 AIG Women’s Open. This marks a reminder of her major win at St Andrews, where Ko secured the title with a total score of 7-under par. The tournament was organized from August 22 to 25, 2024, at the Old Course in St Andrews, Scotland.

Currently, Lydia Ko is gearing up to defend her title at the 2025 AIG Women's Open. She shared a memento from her win in 2024 to her Instagram story on July 28, captioning it as:

Lydia Ko started the final round of the 2024 event tied for fourth at 4-under and shot a 3-under 69 on Sunday to finish two strokes ahead of runners-up Nelly Korda, Jiyai Shin, Lilia Vu, and Ruoning Yin. Ko’s steady play through the challenging links course, known for its double greens and coastal winds, earned her the victory. This was Ko’s third major title, following wins at the 2015 Evian Championship and 2016 ANA Inspiration. Ko also became the first New Zealander to win the AIG Women’s Open.

Now, Lydia Ko is returning to the 2025 AIG Women’s Open, scheduled for July 31 to August 3 at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales. This will be the first time the tournament has been held at Royal Porthcawl, a course established in 1891. The venue has hosted major events, including the Senior Open Championship. With that, let's look at the field of the 2025 AIG Women's Open.
