With her goal of a strong majors season now complete, Minjee Lee has revealed her primary objective for the remainder of the 2025 LPGA Tour calendar.

The first two-time winner of the Rolex Annika Major Award on the back of her win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, tie for third at the Amundi Evian Championship and top-15 finishes at the Chevron Championship and AIG Women’s Open, Lee is enjoying one of the best seasons of her career.

The 29-year-old fell just short of a 12th LPGA Tour win at the CPKC Women’s Open and is one of nine Aussies teeing it up at this week’s Kroger Queen City Championship in Ohio, a tournament she won two years ago.

Currently fourth in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking, Lee is second in the Race to CME Globe standings and is looking at supplant Jeeno Thitikul in the No.1 spot by season’s end.

“Obviously I would love to win CME. That’s a big one,” Lee said in her pre-tournament press conference.

“Obviously I would love to be able to win in Asia. Asia, I always love playing those events. A lot of my family come to watch. Korea is a big one for me, too, the BMW Championship.

“I feel like I have a good stretch of events coming up, and obviously a big goal but CME would be the ultimate one.”

Arguably the game’s premier ball-striker, Lee’s turnaround from a disappointing 2024 campaign has been pinned largely on her switch to a broomstick putter at the start of the year.

It has resulted in an extraordinary improvement of 157th in Strokes Gained: Putting in 2024 to second in season 2025, a transformation that is feeding into other areas of her game.

“My long game and my driving, that has always been pretty solid over the last few years,” said Lee.

“It was more just getting the putter and working and getting a bit more confidence in that area.

“Short game, I’m constantly working on something and trying to get better in that area, too.

“I’m able to rely a little more on my long game and irons so I think I was able to put a bit more importance and more of my time into my short game and putting.

“That’s kind of let me be a bit more free in the things that I am able to work on.”

There are some big-name additions amongst the Aussie men contesting the storied BMW Championship at Wentworth Club in London this week.

Adam Scott and Min Woo Lee are in action for the first time in a month, Scott seeking to add to his lone top-10 finish in nine previous starts.

Karl Vilips and Harrison Endycott will fly the Aussie flag as the PGA TOUR Fall Series kicks off in California and there are six Australians in the field for the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour.
