The 18th playing of the Epson Tour Championship is set to begin Thursday, October 2nd, at Indian Wells Golf Resort – Celebrity Course in Indian Wells, Calif., as they seek a new champion in this week’s highly anticipated event. Here are some names that will look to add themselves to the list of 2025 Epson Tour winners:

Samantha Wagner

Wagner is a veteran on the Epson Tour and is currently ranked No. 13 in the Race for the Card standings. The former University of Florida golfer is coming off 10 consecutive made cuts. Wagner has secured 20 top-ten finishes in her professional career and has made 15 cuts in 18 starts this season, including a win at the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship. The 28-year-old is confident as she heads into the Epson Tour Championship, where she finished T13 in the 2024 rendition, looking for her second win this season with only one attempt left in the 2025 Epson Tour season to secure her LPGA Tour card for 2026.

Laura Wearn

Wearn first joined the Epson Tour in 2014. The North Carolina native is coming off five straight made cuts and is looking for a strong finish this week to work towards jumping in the Race for the Card standings, currently ranked No. 57. The 34-year-old has made 14 cuts in 19 starts and has a low round of 65 for the season. Wearn won the 2019 Symetra Tour Championship and is looking for revenge this week. Indian Wells, Calif., marks the last event of the 2025 season as the Furman University alumna is looking for her fourth professional career win, gaining back confidence to bring home her second Tour Championship title on the Official Qualifying Tour of the LPGA as she gets set to compete in the Epson Tour Championship.

Daniela Iacobelli

Daniela is a veteran on the Epson Tour and has posted 37 top-10s and five wins in her Epson Tour professional career. The Michigan native has made eight cuts in 14 starts this season, but has had a difficult second half of the season, recently missing a cut, followed by a T40 finish at the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout. The 37-year-old is looking to find her game again and jump in the Race for the Card standings, currently at No. 42, eager to compete this week in Indian Wells, Calif., as this is the last week to finish inside the top 35 and advance to the final qualifying stage of LPGA Qualifying Series in December, where Iacobelli will have a chance to gain her LPGA Tour card for the 2026 season.

Ashley Lau

Ashley Lau is in her third season on the Epson Tour and has continued to prove herself over the course of this season. The University of Michigan alumna is coming off nine weeks of back-to-back made cuts, most recently finishing in a T22 at the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout. Lau has made 15 cuts in 19 starts this season, with three top-10s, most notably T2 at the Reliance Matrix Championship presented by Epson. The 25-year-old now sits at No. 22 in the Race for the Card. In 2024, Lau finished in second place at the Epson Tour Championship. This week, the Epson Tour sophomore is looking for revenge, where a win or top finish would put the Malaysian closer to locking up her spot in the top-15 and earning her LPGA Tour card for the 2026 season.
