Yamashita won for the first time on the LPGA, although she’s won 13 times on the Japan LPGA and relied on that experience to close it out in Wales. Chisato Iwai won the Mexico Riviera Open earlier this year, making it three Japanese victories on the LPGA in 2025 to go with Yamashita and Saigo.

The 2025 AIG Women's Open stayed in golf's gold rush, offering an event-record payout of $9.75 million, with $1,462,500 million to the winner.
