Elevating Women’s Golf: MPGA & LPGA Join Forces for a Game-Changing 2025 Season
What separates good golfers from great ones? Sure, a solid swing and hours on the range help, but when the pressure’s on and the stakes are high, the mind becomes the most powerful club in the bag. That’s why the LPGA has teamed up with the Mental Performance Golf Academy (MPGA) to bring elite mental performance training to the Epson Tour in 2025.
This isn’t just about getting players to think more positively—it’s about giving them the mental tools to thrive under pressure, bounce back from adversity, and step onto the course with unshakable confidence. And what better time to celebrate this groundbreaking partnership than National Girls & Women in Sports Day?
Let’s face it: women’s sports have come a long way, but there’s still work to do. Opportunities grow when athletes are given the right support—physically, emotionally, and mentally. That’s exactly what MPGA and LPGA are here to do.
MPGA: The Mental Game Experts
MPGA is all about mastering the mental side of the game, equipping athletes with strategies to perform at their peak—on and off the course.
Here’s what they bring to the table:
✅ Personalized Mental Training: Because no two golfers are the same, MPGA tailors its approach to each athlete’s specific mindset, confidence, and focus challenges.
✅ Proven Performance Techniques: Forget vague “stay positive” advice. MPGA teaches actionable skills like managing negative thoughts, self-compassion, and staying locked in during high-pressure moments.
✅ A Powerful Support System: Success isn’t a solo journey. MPGA fosters a community of coaches, caddies, and fellow athletes to create an environment where players can learn, grow, and push each other to new heights.
✅ Custom Mental Training Programs: Whether for teams, academies, or organizations, MPGA builds customized mental performance solutions designed to fit the unique needs of each group.
What This Means for the LPGA/Epson Tour
For the first time, Epson Tour players will have structured mental performance coaching integrated into their season. This includes:
🎥 Exclusive Onboarding Videos: Two MPGA-designed mental training videos launching in March 2025 to help players build a mental game foundation.
🏌️♀️ In-Person Training Camps: Two immersive two-day mental performance sessions to equip players with on-course strategies for handling stress, staying resilient, and making smarter decisions under pressure.
💻 One-on-One Online Coaching Personalized: Coaching services tailored specifically for golfers by mental performance “golf” coaches. We know golf and provide individualized support for handling the ups and downs of tour life.
📖 Essential Mental Training Resources: MPGA will guide players in mental strength exercises, breathwork, journaling, and developing an unshakable competitive mindset.
🔥 Additional Training Options: Players who want to dive deeper can book extra mental coaching sessions tailored to their needs.
This is a game-changer for women’s professional golf. By focusing on mental resilience, confidence, and composure, LPGA athletes will gain a competitive edge that lasts long after their final putt drops.
The Bigger Picture: Celebrating National Girls & Women in Sports Day
This partnership couldn’t come at a better time. National Girls & Women in Sports Day isn’t just about celebrating achievements—it’s about creating more opportunities for female athletes to succeed.
Too often, women in sports are expected to simply "tough it out" when dealing with mental struggles. But mental training is just as essential as physical training. The LPGA and MPGA are making sure that female golfers get the same high-performance mindset coaching that top athletes in other sports rely on.
Because confidence isn’t just built in the gym—it’s built in the mind.
Looking Ahead: A New Era in Women’s Golf
With the LPGA and MPGA leading the charge, the future of women’s golf is looking stronger than ever.
This partnership isn’t just about winning tournaments—it’s about empowering players with the mindset to handle everything that comes their way. From first-tee jitters to championship Sundays, these athletes will be prepared to face any challenge with confidence, resilience, and an unstoppable belief in their ability.
