The full field for the 2025 AIG Women's Open is complete, with 145 golfers from all over the world set to descend on Royal Porthcawl in South Wales between July 30 and August 3 as they battle to lift the final Major of the year.

Each competitor has qualified via a wide variety of different methods, be it recent consistency or historical achievements - all leading to one of the very best line ups in all of golf.

World No.1, Nelly Korda will begin her latest quest to bring home another Major, while hopes are growing for England's Lottie Woad following a superb past few weeks for the 2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur champion.

In terms of the host course, Royal Porthcawl not only has the honor of welcoming the AIG Women's Open for the first time since opening in 1976, but it will also be the first Welsh site to do so following seven stagings of The Amateur Championship, three Senior Opens, one Walker Cup and one Curtis Cup.

Below, we've listed the full field as it stands for the 2025 AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl as well as how each player qualified, based on the highest relevant exemption criteria according to the R&A (players may have qualified via multiple categories).
