Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl in 2025: Predicted Champions and Betting Odds
The 2025 AIG Women's Open is set to make its debut at the historic Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in South Wales, promising a challenging and exciting tournament for the world's top golfers.
Several potential contenders for the title have emerged, including Julia Lopez-Ramirez, Nelly Korda, Akie Iwai, Angel Yin, and Lottie Woad.
Julia Lopez-Ramirez, a former Mississippi State University golfer, has been making waves recently with a T3rd finish at the Women's Scottish Open last week. Her impressive performance follows her T29th finish in the AIG as an amateur last year, and she is expected to go much better this time around.
Nelly Korda, the World No.1, may not be hitting the dazzling heights of her 2024 season, but her recent form and championship form stack up well for the AIG Women's Open. She finished runner-up in this tournament last year at St Andrews and comes into the Open off the back of a fifth-place finish at the Women's Scottish Open.
Angel Yin has enjoyed a fantastic year with a win and five more top-10 results from 12 LPGA Tour starts. Three of these top-10s have come in Majors, including a T6th at the AIG Women's Open in 2023.
Lottie Woad, the form player in the world right now, is the overwhelming favourite with bookmakers for the 2025 AIG Women's Open. She won the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open last week, came T3rd at the Evian Championship in the start before, and won the KPMG Women's Irish Open earlier in July.
Akie Iwai, another strong contender, finished T11th and T7th at the AIG Women's Open in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and her game could be well-suited for the links test at Royal Porthcawl.
The 2025 AIG Women's Open will be a challenging event, with the course measuring 7,137 yards and a par 72. The course's firm turf, deep bunkers, and unpredictable winds will test players' precision and strategy.
The tournament will showcase the world's best, including current form players like Nelly Korda, Jeeno Thitikul, Lottie Woad, and Nanna Koertz Madsen as dark horse candidates, alongside well-established major champions and rising talents.
Betting pick for the 2025 AIG Women's Open: Lottie Woad +600 at BetMGM. With her impressive form and links golf skills, Lottie Woad could potentially score back-to-back wins at the AIG Women's Open.
Sports enthusiasts will be thrilled as the 2025 AIG Women's Open introduces golf into their itinerary at the historic Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. Among the golfers set to compete are Angel Yin, a Major contender with a T6th finish at the 2023 AIG Women's Open, and Lottie Woad, a form player who excels in links golf.
