The US Women’s Open golf championship will be held this week at the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Pebble Beach has hosted 13 USGA tournaments, but this will be the first time the venue hosts the longest-running major in women’s golf that began in 1946, when Patty Berg won the inaugural championship.
The 78th edition of the US Women’s Open features stars, old and new, competing in four rounds of 18 holes. The field of 156 includes 28 amateurs, 89 fully exempt golfers and 12 US Women’s Open champions.
Rose Zhang will play after turning pro in May. She set records in the sport as an amateur at Stanford, where she outpaced Tiger Woods’ collegiate career, and last month won her LPGA debut at the Mizuho Americas Open. At the Carmel Cup last year, Zhang set the women’s course record at Pebble Beach, shooting 9-under 63 in the second round en route to winning the tournament.
Veteran Amy Olson will tee off at Pebble Beach while seven months pregnant. The US Women’s Open will be her first time playing at the revered California course. She tied for second at the 2020 US Women’s Open.
Minjee Lee will seek to defend her title at the longest-running major in women’s golf. She won the 2022 US Women’s Open, her second major, and earned a $1.8 million prize, the largest payday in the history of women’s golf at the time.
Angela Zhang, a teenage phenom from Washington who is not related to Rose, is the youngest competitor in the field. She turns 14 on the first day of the championship. And three-time champion Annika Sorenstam, of Sweden, is the oldest at 52.
