The 2025 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship final leaderboard is headed by co-winners Minami Katsu and Sarah Schmelzel, who topped the LPGA Tour leaderboard this week with an unofficial win at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas.
Katsu and Schmelzel were declared co-champions of this event after the tournament was canceled due to unplayable conditions following 3.25 inches of rain on Saturday night. Second-round play barely started on Saturday, and the course wasn’t in condition to play on Sunday. With the weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday indicating more rain, the LPGA decided to cancel the remainder of the event and declare it unofficial since 36 holes weren’t completed.
As a result, the unofficial final leaderboard is based on the 18-hole leaderboard.
Katsu and Schmelzel will split the winner’s share of the purse.

The purse has been reduced in half, per LPGA rules, to $1.5 million, meaning Katsu and Schmelzel split the first-place and second-place prize money combined. The top 65 and ties after one round were paid as though they had made the cut, though 65 players, including one amateur, exactly fit that number.
All professionals earned $3,500, regardless of finish, and that money was on top of whatever was earned through the 18-hole scores.
