Australia’s LPGA stars are chasing a historic third straight major victory for the nation when the AIG Women’s Open tees off on Thursday afternoon AEST.
Nine Australians are in the field as the world’s best female golfers hit the links of Royal Porthcawl in Wales for the first time.
All eyes will no doubt be on 21-year-old English sensation Lottie Woad, who won on her professional debut last week, but with their victories at the Evian Championship and the Women’s PGA Championship respectively, Grace Kim and Minjee Lee made Australia the toast of the women’s game.

Kim’s victory in France earlier this month made 2025 the fourth year in history in which two major championships have been won by Australians after Lee (US Women’s Open) and Cameron Smith (The Open) in 2022 as well as Karrie Webb (Chevron Championship and US Women’s Open) in 2000 and (US Women’s Open and LPGA Championship) in 2001.
But there have never been three majors won by Australians in the same year.
The current crop boast the form line to make history, and span an Australian drought on the British links that dates back to Webb’s victory in 2002.
Lee is also chasing a mightily impressive feat with the career grand slam a possibility for the first time in the 29-year-old’s illustrious career.
The three-time major winner is eyeing off winning a fourth different major this week, having previously won the Evian Championship, the US Women’s Open and the Women’s PGA Championship.
With the LPGA making the move to five majors a year more than a decade ago, they still recognise four different major triumphs as the career grand slam – winning all five is regarded as the super career grand slam.
