Aditi Ashok got her first LPGA Top-10 this season
For most of 2025 so far, 3-time Olympian Aditi Ashok has been treading water on the LPGA Tour—making cuts but not quite contending. That changed last week at the inaugural $2.5 million MEXICO Riviera Maya Open, where the 27-year-old from Bangalore recorded her first Top-10 finish this season.
Played from May 22–25 at the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleón course at Mayakoba—a venue that has previously hosted PGA TOUR and LIV Golf events, and is known for swallowing errant shots and producing wide-score gaps.
Aditi, the only Indian on the LPGA Tour for the past eight seasons, posted 72-72-72-69 across four rounds. Despite a double bogey in the final round, her 3-under 69 was the second-lowest score of the day, lifting her into the Top 10 on the leaderboard and recording her 12th career Top-10 finish on the LPGA Tour.
Aditi has now made five cuts in seven starts this year and currently sits at 75th in the LPGA Rankings, gaining traction just as the Tour heads into Major Championship season.
The field at Mayakoba was relatively light in terms of top-ranked players, as many chose to rest ahead of the upcoming $12 million U.S. Women’s Open Championship at Erin Hills, Wisconsin.
Major Week Begins
The 80th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, the second Major of the year, will see the world’s best in action from May 29 to June 1 at Erin Hills, Wisconsin.
Aditi, who finished Tied-26th at the U.S. Women’s Open last year, is not in the field this week, but her recent form suggests she remains on track to make an impact later in the season.
Last year’s U.S. Women’s Open champion, Yuka Saso, made history by becoming the first player to win the title under two different flags—first for the Philippines in 2021 and then for Japan in 2024.
Aditi’s performance in Mexico adds to an encouraging season for Indian women’s golf, with strong showings on both the LET and LPGA Tours. With consistent international results, Indian players like Aditi are reinforcing India’s growing stature in global women’s golf and laying the groundwork for a more prominent presence in Major Championships and World Rankings.
