2022 US Women's Open, Pine Needles Lodge, Southern Pines, NC, 2-5 June
Established in 1946, the US Women's Open is the oldest of the LPGA major championships. It is the only event which the LPGA has recognised as a major from the time the LPGA itself was founded, in 1950. The tournament is open to both professional and amateur female golfers. Winners of major amateur tournaments are exempt, and there is presently no age limit.
