Lottie Woad Wins 2025 KPMG Women’s Irish Open as Amateur
World No. 1 amateur Lottie Woad captured the 2025 KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Carton House Golf Club in Kildare, Ireland, finishing at 21 under par with a final-round 67 to win by six shots over Alexandra Försterling.
The Florida State senior became the first amateur to win the event since its return to the Ladies European Tour, adding to a historic run that began with her 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur title. Woad led from start to finish with rounds of 68, 67, 67, and 69.
With the win, Woad moves closer to earning LPGA membership through the tour’s point system. Once she reaches 20 points, she can either accept immediate membership or defer it and play one full season starting in 2026.
Her career at FSU is among the most decorated in program and amateur golf history:
Career Stroke Average: 70.42 (FSU record)
Top 10 Finishes: 27
Collegiate Wins: 5
Weeks at WAGR No. 1: 50 and counting
Three-time First Team All-American (WGCA and Golfweek)
2023 National Freshman of the Year
2024 ACC Golfer of the Year
Top 10 ANNIKA Award finalist (2024 and 2025)
First five-time All-American in program history
Woad has also starred internationally for Great Britain and Ireland, playing key roles in the Curtis Cup, Vagliano Trophy, and Patsy Hankins Trophy, as well as representing England in the European Ladies’ Team Championship, Home Internationals, and World Amateur Team Championship.
This summer, she helped GB&I win the Vagliano Trophy with 3.5 points and posted a 2.5–1.5 record in the Arnold Palmer Cup. Her match play wins include victories over Jasmine Koo, Paula Martin Sampedro, Anna Foster, and Antonia Malate.
