Nelly Korda, Jeeno Thitikul, and Linnea Strom Headline Early Commitments for 2025 ShopRite LPGA Classic
Galloway, N.J. – May 8, 2025 — The 2025 ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events on the LPGA calendar, with early commitments featuring a trio of stars at the top of the game. World No. 1 Nelly Korda, No. 2 Atthaya “Jeeno” Thitikul, and defending champion Linnea Strom are among the first to confirm their participation in the tournament, which will be held June 6–8 at the picturesque Seaview Bay Course in Galloway, New Jersey.
Korda, the dominant force in women’s golf this season, will return to the ShopRite LPGA Classic looking to add another title to her glittering 2025 campaign. With multiple victories already this year, including a major championship, Korda’s form has been nothing short of spectacular. Her presence in Galloway adds further prestige to an event long regarded as a fan favorite on the LPGA Tour.
Joining Korda is Thailand’s Atthaya Thitikul, affectionately known as “Jeeno,” who has been equally impressive. The 21-year-old prodigy has steadily climbed the ranks with her consistent play and calm demeanor under pressure. Thitikul’s early commitment sets up a thrilling battle between the top two players in the world, giving golf fans plenty to look forward to.
Also returning is Sweden’s Linnea Strom, who captured her first LPGA title at the 2024 ShopRite LPGA Classic in dramatic fashion. Strom’s breakthrough victory on the Jersey Shore was a career-defining moment, and she’ll look to defend her title in front of the passionate local crowd that embraced her triumph last year.
The ShopRite LPGA Classic has a rich history of attracting elite talent, and with these early commitments, the 2025 edition promises another chapter of high-stakes competition and memorable moments. Hosted at the historic Seaview resort, the tournament is not only a showcase of world-class golf but also a celebration of community, with proceeds benefiting dozens of local charities through the LPGA’s unique “charity first” mission.
Tickets and volunteer registration are now open at shopritelpgaclassic.com, with additional player commitments expected in the coming weeks.
