The top seven countries were determined by the combined Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings of the top four players from each country as of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on June 23. Countries must have a minimum of four ranked players to be eligible. One World Team will also be included and will be determined at the Player deadline.
