The LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour.

The LPGA Tour

How the season ends

The LPGA season finishes with the CME Group Tour Championship, and the winner of that event also takes the Race to the CME Globe, the season-long title, according to a search summary of LPGA schedule listings. The five majors are covered separately on the women's majors page.

Recent CME Group Tour Championship winners

The 2024 result is from the Associated Press report of 24 November 2024.

In 2025 Thitikul, from Thailand, finished four ahead of Pajaree Anannarukarn, with Nelly Korda third. Search summaries of The Sun Malaysia and Inside Golf say she also won the Rolex Player of the Year award and the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average, with Miyu Yamashita her main rival for Player of the Year.

2026: in progress

No 2026 season champion had been decided on 20 October 2026. A search summary of The Golf News Net's 2026 schedule lists the two remaining headline events:

The most recent result in our research is the Buick LPGA Shanghai at Sheshan Golf Club, which China's Ruoning Yin won at 11 under, one ahead of Choi Hye-jin (Korea Times, 18 October 2026). We could not find a current Race to the CME Globe or Player of the Year table, so we do not show standings.

The LPGA also announced that every round of every 2026 event would be shown live, the first time since Golf Channel began covering the tour in 1995 (NBC Sports, 18 November 2025). See watching golf.

The Ladies European Tour

The Order of Merit

The LET's season-long ranking is its Order of Merit, branded the Race to Costa del Sol. It is settled at the season-ending Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de Espana, according to the LET. A search summary of an LET page says the top 70 on the Order of Merit keep full playing rights for the next season.

Recent champions

In 2025 Shannon Tan became the first player from Singapore to win the Order of Merit, holding off England's Mimi Rhodes at the final event at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf, Malaga, from 27 to 30 November 2025. Nadaud won that event by four shots with a closing 66 (Sky Sports).

2026: in progress

The 2026 Order of Merit had no champion on 20 October 2026, and we could not find current standings. The finale is at La Cala Resort in Mijas, according to GolfMagic.

The route onto the LET

Players can also earn a place on the LET through the LET Access Series: the top seven on its 2026 Order of Merit earn LET membership for 2027, according to a search summary and Wikipedia.
