The 2025 AIG Women's British Open had a record purse and a record first-place prize. It also featured a first-time major champion.
Miyu Yamashita held off a charging Charley Hull on Sunday at Royal Porthcawl in Wales in the UK, her final-round 70, one day after her 24th birthday, was enough to win the fifth and final major of 2025.
Yamashita finished at 11 under, and beat Hull and Minami Katsu each by two shots. Yamashita was the lone golfer to reach double-digits under par.
Yamashita also earned nearly $1.5 million for her win, the biggest of her young career. Since AIG took over as title sponsor in 2019, prize money has tripled. The total purse in 2025 was $9.75 million.
