The Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give is set to return from June 12-15, 2025, at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Michigan. This year's tournament will see the participation of defending champion Lilia Vu, along with past champions Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson, Mirim Lee, and Leona Maguire.

Tournament officials have announced that two-time major champion Brittany Lincicome and 2025 Inkster Award winner Carolina Lopez-Chacarra will join the field as sponsor invitees. Cathy Cooper, Executive Director of the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give, stated, "We are excited to once again feature a world-class field as the LPGA Tour returns to Michigan."

Vu comes into this event after securing her fifth LPGA Tour victory in a playoff over Grace Kim and Lexi Thompson last year. Thompson has returned to competition after taking a break from full-time golf in 2024. Meanwhile, Henderson has shown strong form with three top-15 finishes this season.

Lee makes her return to competitive play at this tournament since her last appearance in the 2023 U.S. Women's Open. Maguire also looks forward to participating following three top-25 finishes this season.

Lincicome continues on a limited schedule post-retirement announcement while Lopez-Chacarra competes thanks to winning the Juli Inkster Award presented by Workday.

This marks the 11th edition of the event which supports hunger relief through Meijer's Simply Give program. The goal for this year is to raise $1.3 million for charity. Tickets are available online with general admission priced at $10 per day and additional options offered for families and military personnel.
