The Amundi Evian Championship is the fourth major of the women's LPGA Tour. The event has been around since 1994 and was upgraded to a major in 2013. The major is scheduled to be held between July 27-30, 2023, at the Evian Resort Golf Club.
The prize purse for the Evian Championship has increased over the years and stands at $6.5 million for 2023. No player has won the Championship twice as a major, but Helen Alfredsson has won the tournament three times.
The field of 156 golfers will be played over four days and a cut will take place after the first two days, reducing the field to just 65 golfers. This is the decade celebration of the Evian Championship of the LPGA Tour.
History of the Evian Championship
In its debut as a major, Suzann Pettersen held off Lydia Ko to become the first-ever major championship. The rising star Ko was just 16 years old at the Championship and finished in second place. Soon after, Ko went on to win the Championship, setting a record for the youngest winner at 18 years, 4 months, and 10 days.
In her major debut, Hyo Joo Kim shot a round of 61 during the opening round of the Evian Championship. This score of 61 remains the lowest recorded round score for a major - male or female.
