The Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings saw significant changes this week following the conclusion of the JM Eagle LA Championship, the eighth event of the 2025 LPGA Tour season.
Hannah Green of Australia, who won the tournament in a playoff, jumped three spots from 8th to 5th. As a result, Miyu Yamashita of Japan, Minjee Lee of Australia, and Lydia Ko of New Zealand each dropped one place to 6th, 7th, and 8th, respectively.
Kim Sei-young, who narrowly lost in the playoff, moved up one spot from 10th to 9th. Lim Jin-hee, who also finished tied for second after the playoff, climbed eight places from 40th last week to 32nd this week. The 32nd spot was held by Hwang Yu-min last week. Hwang, who finished alone in 62nd place at the tournament, slipped four spots to 36th.
Beyond Lim and Hwang, this week saw an unusual number of ranking shifts among Korean players.
Rookie Kim Min-sol, who has been on fire in her two most recent KLPGA Tour events with a victory and a tied-third finish, surpassed veteran Ko Jin-young. With Kim moving up one spot and Ko dropping one, Kim now sits at 42nd and Ko at 43rd. Lee So-mi ranks 41st, while Hong Jeong-min is 44th.
Yoon Ina, who turned in a career-best performance with a solo fourth-place finish at the JM Eagle LA Championship, once again leapfrogged Bang Shin-sil. Yoon jumped 15 spots to 53rd, while Bang slipped one spot to 55th. Between them sits Lee Mi-hyang at 54th, with Yoo Hyun-jo at 52nd and Noh Seung-hee at 56th, forming a stretch of five consecutive Korean players in the rankings.
Ko Jin-young's compatriot Kim Hyo-joo, ranked 3rd in the world, maintained her position after withdrawing from the JM Eagle LA Championship.
