English amateur golfer Lottie Woad, currently the world number one amateur, won the 2025 Women’s Irish Open with rounds of 68, 67, 67, and 69, finishing six shots ahead of the competition. This victory marks Woad's first professional-level tournament win and makes her the first amateur to win on the Ladies European Tour since 2022. Despite her triumph, Woad is ineligible to accept the £58,000 (approximately $79,000) first-place prize money due to her amateur status. Consequently, the prize was awarded to Swedish professional Madelene Sagstrom, who finished second. Woad, a 21-year-old and a Florida State University player, has been recognized as a potential superstar in English golf. Separately, British tennis players have faced notable fines at Wimbledon 2025, including Emma Raducanu, who lost nearly half of her £152,000 winnings, and Henry Patten, who was fined £9,000 for an incident involving staff before the tournament began. Patten publicly criticized the All England Club for procedural issues related to his punishment.
