Golf’s only Major to be staged in continental Europe, The Amundi Evian Championship is a reference point in the women’s game. First played in 1994, it was elevated in status to become the fifth women’s Major in 2013. Over the years, the tournament has steadily constructed its own history to become a unique event.
The Amundi Evian Championship is played every July on the demanding Champions Course at Évian-les-Bains’ Resort Golf Club, nestled between the pristine shores of Lake Geneva and the majestic summits of the Alps.
Evian is really a very special place for me, and this goes beyond the fact that I won my first Major there at 17.
The tournament’s honour roll of past champions includes Rolex Testimonees Annika Sörenstam (2000, 2002), her fellow Swede Anna Nordqvist (2017), Suzann Pettersen of Norway (2013), New Zealand’s Lydia Ko (2015) and Brooke Henderson of Canada (2022).
