The LPGA is back in action, and after a whirlwind start in Florida followed by an international swing through Thailand, Singapore, and China, the tour is making its way stateside once again. This time, it’s landing in Arizona for the Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass, set for March 27-30. Last year, the tournament debuted at Seville Golf & Country Club, but in true road-trip fashion, it’s switching things up in 2025, moving to the Cattail Course at Whirlwind Golf Club on the Gila River Indian Community. Arizona has long been a staple on the LPGA calendar, though the last few years have seen the tour hopping between courses.

This will mark the third different venue in three years, keeping things fresh for players and fans alike. Speaking of fresh—Nelly Korda was on fire in 2024, picking up her third of four straight wins right here at the Ford. And while she had to skip her celebratory In-N-Out burger last year (thanks to Easter closures), 2025 brings better news. If she defends her title, she won’t have to miss out on those animal-style fries, with a location just five miles away! As the excitement builds, all eyes are on the skies—what’s the weather looking like for tournament week?

According to the AccuWeather reports, the opening day of the 2025 Ford Championship is shaping up to be a beautiful one—plenty of sunshine, a light breeze, and nearly perfect conditions for golf. While it won’t be too warm, the RealFeel® temperature in the morning could dip to -1°C (and even chillier in the shade at -3°C), so spectators might want to bundle up early on. By the afternoon, expect bright skies with just 4% cloud cover and a high UV index of 7, so sunscreen is a must! Winds will be coming in from the WNW at 28 km/h, with gusts reaching 33 km/h, which could make things interesting for players as they navigate their shots.

The good news? Rain is highly unlikely during the day, with just a 1% chance of precipitation and absolutely no threat of thunderstorms. As the sun sets, conditions will stay breezy, and temperatures will drop to around 0°C overnight. There’s a slight chance (40%) of a light shower late at night, but it shouldn’t be enough to impact the course heading into Round 2. With sunshine and a steady breeze, the first round at Whirlwind Golf Club should offer ideal playing conditions—just keep an eye on that wind as the afternoon progresses!

Friday at the 2025 Ford Championship is bringing a mix of sun, clouds, and a little bit of rain—so players and fans should be ready for changing conditions throughout the day. Temperatures will hit a high of 8°C, but it’ll feel a bit warmer, with a RealFeel® of 14°C. Expect a passing shower at some point, as there’s an 80% chance of precipitation and a slight 16% chance of a thunderstorm. The rain won’t be heavy, but it could stick around for a couple of hours, so having an umbrella handy might not be a bad idea.

Winds will be light, coming in from the WSW at 7 km/h, with gusts up to 20 km/h. That shouldn’t be too much of a factor for the golfers, but they’ll still need to pay attention to any shifts in wind direction. As the sun sets, temperatures will drop to a low of 3°C, and cloud cover will increase to 100%, making for a chilly and overcast evening. Rain chances drop significantly overnight, so the course should be in good shape heading into the weekend rounds.

What does the weekend have in store at the 2025 Ford Championship?

As the LPGA players gear up for moving day at the Ford Championship, they’ll have to contend with some tricky conditions. Saturday is shaping up to be a cloudy one, with overcast skies sticking around throughout the day. Temperatures will hover around 9°C, though it might feel a bit cooler in the shade. A moderate breeze from the south at 9 km/h could make club selection a little tricky, especially with gusts reaching up to 39 km/h.

While the chance of rain remains low during the day, things could take a turn in the evening. A light rain is expected to move in late at night, with a 55% chance of precipitation. It won’t be a total washout, but players and fans might want to keep an umbrella handy just in case. With the tournament heading into its final stretch, the weather could add an extra challenge—setting the stage for an exciting finish on Sunday!

Championship Sunday at the Ford Championship is shaping up to be a battle not just against the competition but also against the elements. Expect a mild day with temperatures reaching 13°C, though it may feel a touch cooler in the shade. Skies will be packed with clouds, and while the sun might peek through occasionally, overcast conditions will dominate most of the round. A steady breeze from the SSW at 13 km/h, with gusts up to 35 km/h, could make those final approach shots a bit more challenging.

As the sun sets on the tournament, the weather could throw in one last curveball. Low clouds will settle in, and there’s a 65% chance of rain arriving late in the evening, potentially bringing a couple of showers and even a thunderstorm. If the leaderboard is tight, those final holes could get even more dramatic with changing conditions. With a title on the line and unpredictable weather in play, Sunday is set to be a thrilling finish. Who will rise to the challenge and claim the trophy? Stay tuned to find out!
