The 2025 Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship presented by Munich Re marks the beginning of the Epson Tour’s highly anticipated Northeast stretch. For the third consecutive year, players will tee it up at Great River Golf Club in Hartford, Conn., with the stakes higher than ever in the Race for the Card.

The top of the leaderboard is as tight as it's ever been, with just five points separating the top three players in the standings as the Tour enters a pivotal four-week run:

Melanie Green – 1,226.754 pts
Gina Kim – 1,225.900 pts
Riley Smyth – 1,221.850 pts
Sophia Schubert – 1,122.962 pts
Yana Wilson – 1,073.777 pts
Braian Chacon – 1,062.833 pts
Minji Kang – 1,013.643 pts
Laetitia Beck – 989.917 pts
Erika Hara – 832.342 pts
Carala Tejedo Mulet – 826.962 pts
Hailee Cooper – 673.712 pts
Michelle Zhang – 660.633 pts
Jillian Hollis – 580.538 pts
Amari Avery – 572.896 pts
Samantha Wagner – 572.125 pts

Veteran Jillian Hollis made the biggest move of the week, climbing 75 spots to No. 13 in the Race for the Card after capturing the Otter Creek Championship presented by Case Construction. It marks the fourth Epson Tour win of her career and her first since 2022’s Circling Raven Championship. After a roller-coaster season, Hollis appears to have rediscovered the form that helped her earn her LPGA Tour card in 2019. Another win this week in Hartford would make her the first player to go back-to-back on Tour since Jenny Bae in 2023.

Melanie Green surged to the top of the Race for the Card standings following an impressive Midwest campaign. The rookie claimed her first professional victory at the Island Resort Championship presented by Delta County Chamber and followed it up with top-10 finishes at both Otter Creek and the Great Lakes Championship at the Highlands presented by Johnnie Walker. Her lead is razor-thin, with just 0.854 points separating her and two-time 2025 winner Gina Kim.

Another standout performer heading into the Hartford HealthCare Women’s Championship presented by Munich Re is Kelli Ann Strand, who picked up a runner-up result at the Otter Creek Championship presented by Case Construction. The 2nd-place finish is the best result of her young professional career and moved her up 42 spots to No. 20 in the Race for the Card. The Epson Tour sophomore has only missed one cut in her last seven starts, making her one of the most in-form players on Tour right now.
