The 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship is just around the corner, and it’s shaping up to be an absolute thriller and well tickets are selling out! Taking place at the stunning Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore from February 27 to March 2, 2025, this tournament has managed to assemble an incredible field, with nine out of the world’s top 10 players confirming their participation and a prize money of whopping $270,000. Can you imagine the excitement of watching the best of the best go head-to-head in a battle for golfing supremacy? It’s going to be an electrifying display of skill, strategy, and determination, and we can barely contain our excitement! Here are the top 5 players to look out for this year:

1. Charley Hull

First up, we have Charley Hull, a top contender who’s gearing up to take the stage by storm. Hull has had a relatively quiet start to the 2025 season, having played in just one LPGA Tour event, the Founders Cup, where she finished tied for 19th, and also competed in the PIF Saudi Ladies International, a Ladies European Tour event, securing a tie for eighth place. With a strong track record in 2024, having played in 17 tournaments and missing only two cuts, Hull is looking to make a statement at the HSBC Women’s World Championship, which promises to be an electrifying event. As one of the most talented golfers in the field, Hull’s performance will undoubtedly be one to watch, and fans are eagerly anticipating her next move.

2. Jeeno Thitikul

Secondly, we have Jeeno Thitikul, the Thai star who’s making her highly-anticipated return to the HSBC Women’s World Championship after missing last year’s event due to a thumb injury. Thitikul has an impressive record at the tournament, finishing in the top 10 in all her previous outings, and is eager to build on her success, which includes two wins in 2024, including the prestigious CME Group Tour Championship. With her excitement palpable, Thitikul expressed her enthusiasm for competing against an incredible field at Sentosa Golf Club, saying, “I’m so excited to return to the HSBC Women’s World Championship this year… Missing last year’s event was tough, but it has only made me even more excited to come back this year.”

3. Ayaka Furue

With a stellar 2024 season under her belt, Japan’s Ayaka Furue is undoubtedly one of the players to watch, having claimed her first major title at the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship, a momentous achievement that catapulted her to new heights in the golfing world. Furue’s impressive form didn’t stop there, as she went on to record an astonishing 12 top-10 finishes throughout the year, demonstrating her remarkable consistency and skill on the course.

4. Lydia Ko

For the fourth contender, we have Lydia Ko, who’s looking to make a statement at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. Although she had a slow start to the season, Ko’s determination and skill were on full display as she managed to climb up the leaderboard, finishing 6th at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and T48 at the Founders Cup presented by U.S. Virgin Islands. Her ability to bounce back from a sluggish start is a key aspect of her game, and it’s likely that she’ll draw on this momentum to make a strong push for the top spot at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. “We all love visiting Singapore as it’s an amazing city but we especially love the way HSBC and the tournament organizers set everything up to make the tournament feel so major”, Ko said.

5. Hannah Green

Last but not least, we have Hannah Green, who’s set to defend her title at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. Green secured her fourth LPGA title by winning the 2024 edition by one stroke over France’s Celine Boutier, closing with a thrilling final-round 67, which included three birdies in the last three holes, capped off by an unforgettable 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th. As the second Australian to win the event, following Karrie Webb in 2011, Green expressed her excitement to return and defend her title, saying, “I’m really excited to return… Winning at Sentosa last year was incredible… Coming back as the defending champion makes it even more special.” So, don’t wait, get your tickets now and be a part of the excitement!
