As if LPGA Final Qualifying wasn’t tough enough, Mother Nature prolonged this year’s festivities, forcing players to complete the final round on Tuesday after rain washed out most of Monday at Magnolia Grove Golf Course in Mobile, Alabama.

Chisato closed with a 71 to finish 21 under for the tournament, in second, while Akie finished 16 under in a tie for fifth. Yamashita fired a 64 on the final day of play to earn medalist honors and finish the week at 27 under.

2024 NCAA champion Adela Cernousek, who left college midseason to pursue an LPGA card, finished 11 under to earn her card. A total of 26 players earned LPGA status for next sesaon.

This marked the first time since 2017 that the final stage was played over 90 holes, with the tournament consisting of as many as 144 holes (2018 to 2022) and 108 holes last year.

A total of 67 players made the 72-hole cut and the top 25 and ties after five rounds earned LPGA status for the 2025 season. Those who did not earn LPGA cards leave Mobile with Epson Tour status for next season.
