One of the five majors of women's golf, the Evian Championship, adds the suffix "Amundi" due to sponsorship reasons. The event was originally known as the "Evian Masters," which began in 1994 on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and then became a co-sponsored event by the LPGA Tour. However, it took 19 years for the event to become a golf major in 2013, and it was named the Evian Championship.
Originally scheduled for June, it was rescheduled for July 2003 and September 2013. In 2019, it was back to a July date. With the 2021 event, the purse was raised from $4.1 million to $4.5 million and further increased to $6.5 million for the 2022 event, with the winner’s share of $1 million. The tournament's organizers and its sponsor, Amundi, jointly announced in February 2021 that the latter had taken on the role of title sponsor from 2021 to 2026.
