The Amundi Evian Championship is the women's equivalent of the Masters in the sense that it's the only major championship that doesn't change venues. Evian Resort Golf Club in France has played host to this event every year since it was established as the Evian Masters on the Ladies European Tour in 1984. In 2000, it became an LPGA major.
This course started as a nine-hole track but was completely redesigned to its current layout by Cabell B. Robinson in the 1980s. In 2012, it underwent an $8 million renovation at the hands of designer Steve Smyers. Situated in the heart of the French Alps and overlooking Lake Geneva, the views at the Amundi Evian Championship are always breathtaking. The course itself, however, has received some staunch criticism over the years — namely from Lexi Thompson, who wrote an Instagram post in 2019 claiming good shots weren't rewarded at Evian and that she was "thankful" she missed the cut that year so she didn't have to play two more rounds.

Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club - 2026 AIG Women's Open (July 30-Aug. 2)
The 2026 AIG Women's Open will be held at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in England for a sixth time. This historic course most recently hosted the 2018 Women's Open, which saw Georgia Hall become a major champion with a two-shot victory in her home country. Royal Lytham & St. Annes has also been the site of two Ryder Cups and 11 men's British Open Championships.
The club was founded in 1886 and the current routing was finished in 1897. Its main defense is its amount of bunkers — more than 200 in total — posing a threat on nearly every single shot around the course. Ranked No. 41 among Golfweek's Top 100 International Courses, Royal Lytham & St. Annes has a star-studded roster of past champions that includes Annika Sorenstam and Sherri Steinhauer (twice) on the women's side, as well as Bobby Jones, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros (twice), David Duvall and Ernie Els on the men's side, among others.
