The LPGA is hitting the green in teams on Wednesday night, as some of the top golfers on Tour link up to represent their countries at the 2025 International Crown in South Korea.
This fifth edition of the match-play tournament will see seven teams from the USA, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Sweden, and China, as well as a mixed World Team taking on the reigning champion squad out of Thailand this week.
Comprised of the four top-ranked LPGA players from each nation, countries earn a team spot in the biennial International Crown based on the combined rankings of their best quartet of golfers — with those overall aggregates also determining tournament seeding.
The US topped all teams to snag this year's No. 1 seed, though the squad suffered a significant availability blow earlier this month when world No. 2 Nelly Korda withdrew from the 2025 International Crown due to injury.
No. 28 Yealimi Noh will compete in Korda's place, with the 24-year-old joining No. 10 Angel Yin, No. 16 Lauren Coughlin, and No. 33 Lilia Vu on Team USA.
Led by another 24-year-old, LPGA Tour debutant No. 6 Miyu Yamashita, No. 2 seed Japan appears to be the team to beat, with the World Team's fourth-ranked Lydia Ko (New Zeland) and fifth-ranked Charley Hull (England) upping the stakes for the No. 7 seed squad.

The 2025 LPGA Tour is teeing off across the pond, as the 144-strong player field hits the Dundonald Links for the Scottish Open on Thursday.
Co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour (LET) since 2017, this year's Scottish Open will see top LPGA and LET golfers gear up for next week's AIG Women's Open — the final Grand Slam tournament of the season.
Currently sitting in an 11-way tie for seventh place, world No. 1 Nelly Korda is leading the US contingent alongside No. 139 Jenny Bae, as Korda continues to hunt a first tournament win in 2025.
Sitting one stroke ahead in a five-way tie for second place is former top-ranked amateur Lottie Woad, with the No. 62 rookie making her highly anticipated professional debut in Thursday's opening round after excelling at the 2025 Evian Championship.
"I will definitely take it, there was some good and some bad, but overall it was pretty fair," said Woad after her Thursday performance.
The 21-year-old England star will likely see her first-ever winnings when the Scottish Open wraps, as the new LPGA Tour member is now eligible to collect on the tournament's $2 million purse.
While Woad came out swinging with a five-under-par first round, it was fellow Englishwoman and world No. 1184 Charlotte Laffar who began with the biggest bang.
The 32-year-old LET pro — returning to the circuit this season after four and a half years away from the sport to start her family — skyrocketed to an outright first-place Thursday finish behind a six-under performance.
With three rounds still to play, the early leaders will face fierce competition from contenders like defending 2024 Scottish Open champion No. 14 Lauren Coughlin and 2025 Ford Championship winner No. 10 Hyo Joo Kim, both of whom sit tied for 17th place after Thursday's first round.

The LPGA season's first Grand Slam tees off in Texas on Thursday, when the world's top golfers will compete for a piece of the $8 million purse at the 2025 Chevron Championship.
After a record-breaking 2024 run, world No. 1 Nelly Korda enters her 10th Chevron Championship as the tournament's reigning champion, though the 26-year-old US star has yet to win a major event this year.
Korda will be attempting to hold off some of the sport's biggest names this weekend, as the 132-player field includes 24 of the world's top 25 golfers and all eight champions from the 2025 LPGA Tour so far.
Joining Korda in seeking another victory at the event are the annual tournament's 2023 winner, world No. 4 Lilia Vu, and 2022 champion No. 53 Jennifer Kupcho.
Both Korda and Vu are returning to play after dealing with lingering injuries, while fellow US golfer Kupcho hasn't won an LPGA Tour event since July 2022.
Other US players to watch include No. 8 Lauren Coughlin, fresh off a third-place finish at the 2025 LA Championship, and No. 58 Lexi Thompson, with the 2014 Chevron champion emerging from retirement to compete in her first tournament of 2025.
Rising international stars like Sweden's No. 42 Ingrid Lindblad as well as Japan's No. 17 Rio Takeda and twin sisters No. 18 Akie and No. 41 Chisato Iwai are also favorites to claim the 2025 Chevron trophy.
