The 2003 LPGA Tour was the 54th season since the LPGA Tour officially began in 1950. The season ran from March 13 to November 23. The season consisted of 31 official money events. Annika Sörenstam won the most tournaments, six. She also led the money list with earnings of $2,029,506.

There were five first-time winners in 2003: Shi Hyun Ahn, Hee-Won Han, Candie Kung, Hilary Lunke, and Angela Stanford. Lunke's was most notable, as she won the U.S. Women's Open after enduring local and section qualifying for what would become her only LPGA Tour victory.

The tournament results, leaders, and award winners are listed below.
