A Historic Tournament Faces Unpredictable Conditions
The Mizuho Americas Open is back for its third edition, teeing off from May 8–11 with rising anticipation. From Rose Zhang’s fairy-tale debut win to Nelly Korda’s dominant 2024 run, this LPGA event has already made a mark. But in 2025, the spotlight isn’t just on the players—it’s on the skies above Liberty National Golf Club.
Storm Clouds Over Opening Rounds
The opening round on Thursday promises pleasant temperatures around 75°F, but the mood could be dampened by a 55% chance of rain and potential thunderstorms. Gusts nearing 12 mph could also throw off early-round momentum.
Friday Looks Grim for Golf
Friday’s weather outlook is even more concerning. With 97% cloud cover and a 96% chance of rain, players might face suspended play. Winds will rise to 13 mph gusts in cooler 62°F temperatures, adding further difficulty.
Wind May Define Moving Day
Saturday might dodge rain, but wind will dominate. With gusts reaching 28 mph and fluctuating temperatures, round three could challenge even the tour’s best in maintaining control and precision.
Final Round Offers Some Relief
Sunday looks ideal on paper: 75°F, mostly sunny, and no rain. However, 15 mph gusts will still test the field’s composure in what could be a dramatic finish.
Weather May Write the Story
With 120 LPGA professionals and 24 AJGA stars competing, the weather may become the real headline-maker. Will these unpredictable elements open the door for a new star or create a major upset?
