2025 U.S. Women’s Open: Odds, Predictions, and Potential Surprises
Updated May 30, 2025
The 2025 U.S. Women’s Open returns to Erin Hills,the Wisconsin course where Brooks Koepka triumphed at the 2017 U.S. Open. This year’s challenge for the world’s best female golfers will be the course’s notable length, playing around 6,900 yards.
This distance could favor players like Nelly Korda, currently ranked No. 1, who is listed at 10-1 odds. Success will hinge on managing long approach shots and strategic positioning.
Korda aims to erase memories of last year’s opening-round 80 at Lancaster Country Club. A disastrous 10 on the par-3 12th hole, after multiple water balls, derailed her chances. She seeks her first U.S. Women’s Open title and third major victory.
Jeeno Thitikul (15/2), the world No. 2, leads the odds. At just 22, Thitikul has five LPGA Tour wins but seeks her first major. Lydia Ko (20-1) aims for her fourth major,needing only a Women’s PGA win to complete a career grand slam. Minjee Lee (22-1) is also a past U.S. Women’s Open champion, winning in 2022.
In women’s majors, long shots often contend. Unlike the men’s game, recent women’s major winners reflect greater parity, with 10 different champions in the last 10 events. This makes identifying potential dark horses a lucrative, if challenging, task.
Yuka Saso, the defending U.S. Women’s Open champion, exemplifies this trend. Ranked 35th globally, Saso has won this event twice (2022 and 2024). Despite her history, she enters with 150-1 odds. Lilia vu (80-1), a former world No. 1, is another intriguing option. Vu missed last year’s Open due to injury but boasts two major wins and two runner-up finishes in majors last year.
Rose Zhang (80-1) burst onto the scene in 2023 with three major top-10s after a successful amateur career. After a difficult 2024 in the majors, she missed the Chevron Championship due to injury but is back this week. A Lim Kim (50-1), who won the 2020 U.S. Women’s open in her major debut, is known for her driving distance, ranking 10th this year.
