The LPGA Tour returns this week at the Kroger Queen City Championship presented by P&G Preview. This is the fourth playing of the tournament, and it is the second time it has been held at TPC River’s Bend, in Maineville, Ohio.
New Zealand’s Lydia Ko will look to defend her title after her dominant five shot victory last year.
TPC River’s Bend is a par 72 playing 6,876 yards. The tournament’s purse has remained the same at $2 million.
Who to Watch at the Kroger Queen City Championship
Out of 24 events on the LPGA Tour this season, there has not been a multiple-time winner. At this point in the season last year, there were four multiple-time winners.
After a terrific 2024 season where Lydia Ko won three times and earned $3.2 million, she has had a successful 2025 so far. Ko has a win and four top-tens in 13 starts this season. Ko looks to continue her strong season heading into this week.
“It’s a game of inches and a couple shots here and there that can make a huge difference. Yeah, hopefully be able to just keep building the momentum and see where that puts me at the end of the year,” she said.
Vidhi Lakhawala is in the field this week from a sponsor’s invite. Lakhawala is currently eighth in the American Junior Golf Association’s Rolex rankings, and she has won twice this year. She has verbally committed to play at Wake Forest. She had this to say on her first start on the LPGA Tour.
“Yeah, I’m just really excited to soak in the whole experience and also to be able to play with professionals who do it for a living. So to kind of watch them and learn how they practice, how they play, how they prepare and to be able to learn and take it and grow my game through that,” she said.
