Bailey Tardy secured her inaugural LPGA victory at the Blue Bay LPGA in China.

Her win marked a deviation from the pattern of only major champions claiming victories in 2024.

The previous year saw a surge in diversity of winners with 12 first-timers.

A group of 10 golfers, including notable names such as Xiyu Janet Lin and Alison Lee, is poised for potential breakthroughs.

These contenders have demonstrated their capabilities through near wins and robust showings, eagerly vying for their first LPGA triumph.
