Following an impressive T3 showing at The Amundi Evian Championship, amateur Lottie Woad has elected to turn professional and accept the LPGA Tour membership she qualified for via the LPGA Elite Amateur Pathway (LEAP).

The 21-year-old Englishwoman finished a shot out of a playoff Sunday at the Amundi Evian Championship but still earned her LPGA card via the LPGA's LEAP program.

Top-ranked amateur Lottie Woad announced Tuesday she will turn professional, two days after nearly winning a major title. The 21-year-old Englishwoman followed her victory by six shots at the Women’s Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour on July 6 by finishing in third place — just one stroke off the pace — at the Evian Championship

The LPGA Tour returns this week to Evian-les-Bains, France, and the Evian Resort Golf Club for the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship. The 132-player field represents 28 different countries, including the top four players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, led by world No. 1 Nelly Korda and 18 of the LPGA Tour’s 18 winners so far in 2025.

Though Evian Golf Resort is known for giving up low scores – three 61s! – Korda has dug herself too deep of a hole.
