The LPGA is hosting its final major championship tournament of the season this week at the home of golf, also known as St. Andrews.

Preview of the AIG Women’s Open

The Women’s Open Championship is being held in St. Andrews for the first time in over a decade. Stacey Lewis was the last major winner to lift the trophy in the home of golf in 2013.

Defending champion Lilia Vu is looking to win her third major and sixth LPGA title. She played well early in the Olympics but was unable to put together four solid rounds.

Her back injury has kept her out of action for months this season, but she now appears healthy, which could pose problems for the rest of the field.

This week, gold medalist Lydia Ko is coming into the tournament with a lot of momentum. If Ko plays as well as she did in Paris, then watch out: the New Zealander could win another major.

Charley Hull was not at her best in Paris but appears to be back to full health after suffering an injury a few weeks before the Olympics. She improved throughout the week and now the Englishwoman has a chance to win a major at one of golf’s most legendary venues.

Nelly Korda also wants to win her second major title and her seventh win of the season in 2024. She has not been in top form recently, but showed some promise in Paris.

A win at the Home of Golf would be the icing on the cake of their season.

St. Andrews will challenge the women this week, but whoever can avoid the rough and work with the wind will be victorious.

Stay tuned for tee times for rounds 1 and 2.
