Not content with a three-title LPGA Tour season, Australian golf star Hannah Green is eyeing a second major championship victory in 2025.

In the form of her life, Hannah Green is already outlining her 2025 hit list as she eyes the richest prize in women's golf history at the season-ending Tour Championship in Florida.

A stellar three-title LPGA Tour season has delighted Green but the 27-year-old yearns even more after thrusting herself among the game's elite.

"I'm looking forward to all the major championships. They're always ones we look forward to going to; obviously the prestigious golf clubs we play, looking forward to that," the world No.5 said ahead of her opening round on Friday morning (AEDT).

"I think also defending three times will be really fun."

Green would have been defending four, or maybe even five if she wins this weekend, had she not finished runner-up to world No.1 in a titanic final-round duel at the Americas Open in May.

But the West Australian certainly isn't complaining as she tees up with a chance to bank $US4 million ($A6.14 million) with victory at the Tiburen Golf Club in Naples.

"It's been a great year," Green said.

"Even though I have had I think three or four weekends off, it's been a consistent year. I feel like I've been in contention even when I haven't had the three wins, so that's always a positive.

"I just felt really motivated at the start of the year and it was nice to see that the results and the hard work that you put in to the pre-season and obviously throughout the year pay off.

"It's been a different year because of the Olympics. I haven't played as much as I would typically in a season, so still feel a bit tired, but it's nice to finish here at CME and obviously have such a big prize."

Green also can't wait to freshen up with some well-deserved R & R and socialising over the Australian summer.

"So my sister-in-law is actually getting married in January, so I'm very excited about that," said the 2019 Women's PGA champion.

"Got a couple weddings to go to. Just excited to be with my family and friends and just have a bit of a routine I guess, which is not a golf routine."

Fellow Australians Minjee Lee, Gabriela Ruffels and Grace Kim also feature in the elite 60-player field for the $US11 million ($A16.89 million) season-ending showpiece.
