EVIAN-LES-BAINS, EASTERN FRANCE, JUL 13 – Grace Kim secured her first major title with a playoff victory at the Evian Championship, marking the 18th consecutive LPGA event with a different winner this season.
- On Sunday, July 13, 2025, Grace Kim eagled the final hole to force a playoff and then secured her first major title with another eagle, winning at Evian-les-Bains.
- Earlier this year, Lee, Australian golfer, won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and three weeks ago, she captured her third major at PGA Frisco, recent performance highlights.
- In sudden death, Kim made a clutch eagle from the creek on the 18th hole to win, under pressure from Thitikul.
- The victory extended the LPGA Tour’s 75-year history record streak to 18 consecutive tournaments won by different players, with Kim earning a $1.2 million prize as the fifth Australian to win an LPGA major.
- Meanwhile, amateur Lottie Woad aims to be the first to win a major since 1967 U.S. Women’s Open, as Lee seeks to emulate back-to-back majors since Inbee Park 12 years ago.
