At the conclusion of the Guardian Championship in Prattville, Ala., Lauren Stephenson learned she would be returning to the LPGA Tour for the 2025 season.
With her Tour card secured for the next year, Stephenson’s focus shifted to earning Epson Tour Player of the Year honors, which is awarded to the Epson Tour athlete who finishes first on the Official Points List at the end of the season. After a T8 finish at the Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells, the South Carolina native achieved that goal, walking away from the season finale with her head held high.
