Atlantic City Prepares for Thrilling 2025 ShopRite LPGA Classic
GALLOWAY, NJ – The long-anticipated 2025 ShopRite LPGA Classic returns to the historic Seaview Golf Course from June 6-8. Since its inception in 1986, the tournament has epitomized the growth of women’s professional golf, contributing to the LPGA’s impressive annual revenue of over $200 million.
With three professional golfers, including Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul, among the top 15 highest-earning female athletes, the level of competition has risen significantly over the decades. As of 2024, 34 LPGA players secured earnings exceeding $1 million, underscoring the tour’s increasing vigor.
Four key storylines are set to shape this year’s tournament:
-
Unprecedented Parity: This season has seen no repeat winners on the LPGA Tour, with Swedish player Maja Stark claiming the recent US Women’s Open title. Anna Nordqvist remains the only golfer to win back-to-back at the ShopRite, capturing titles in 2015 and 2016.
-
Top Contenders: The golf world’s attention will be on Korda, ranked number one, and number two Thitikul. Korda, a 15-time winner, returns to the ShopRite for the first time since 2020 after finishing as the runner-up at the US Women’s Open.
-
Weather Woes: A 50% chance of showers on Saturday poses a unique challenge. Players like Mao Saigo and Jin Young Ko could thrive under potential adverse conditions, having recently excelled in difficult weather.
- A Chance for a Repeat Champion? It’s been a decade since Nordqvist’s back-to-back wins. With previous champions in the mix, including Ashleigh Buhai and Brooke Henderson, the possibility of adding another name to the list of multiple winners looms large.
Tickets for the event are still available, allowing fans to witness top-tier golf at one of New Jersey’s finest courses. Don’t miss out on a weekend of unparalleled excitement at the 2025 ShopRite LPGA Classic!
