World No.2 Ruoning Yin (below), World No.3 Lydia Ko, World No.5 Lilia Vu and World No.11 Jin Young Ko are set to join defending champion Hannah Green at the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore from February 27 to March 2, 2025.
The five star players with ten major victories between them will feature together on stunning artwork placed around the city promoting the HSBC Women’s World Championship and the return of the world’s best golfers to Singapore.
Lydia Ko has had a year to remember. Opening with a January win at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, she went on to win a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, completing her unique set of Olympic medals – silver (2016 Rio de Janeiro), bronze (2020 Tokyo) and gold (2024 Paris) – making her the only golfer in the modern era to achieve all three medals at three different Olympic Games.
The win qualified her to become the 35th and youngest inductee into the LPGA Hall of Fame. Two weeks later, Ko claimed the AIG Women’s Open at Old Course at St Andrews, her third major championship.
Ko commented: “We all love visiting Singapore, as it’s an amazing city, but we especially love the way HSBC and the tournament organisers set everything up to make the tournament feel so major. From the minute you arrive at the airport, we see promotions for the tournament all around, and it makes us feel so celebrated and welcomed. I am delighted to be part of this beautiful creative celebrating another amazing line-up of women at the 2025 HSBC Women’s World Championship.”
Two-time winner Jin Young Ko will be looking to get back into the winner’s circle for the first time since May 2023, while Lila Vu (below) will be seeking her first top-ten finish in Singapore. China’s top-ranked player, 22-year-old Ruoning Yin, is hoping to add to her ever-increasing tally of LPGA titles, having already won five times.
