A Lim Kim responded to a late charge by Nelly Korda with three birdies on her final four holes for a 5-under 67 and a two-shot victory Sunday in the LPGA season opener at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

As one of the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour, Kim A-lim mostly used to hit draw shots, shaping the ball from right to left, with her driver. While she ranked ninth in the average driving distance last year with 274.

Nelly Korda made a run at it, but A Lim Kim responded late, making key birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to fend off the world's No. 1-ranked player and win the LPGA's 2025 season opener, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.
