It’s officially Augusta National Women’s Amateur week.
The third annual event which features an international field of 72 of the world’s best women’s amateurs are all set for the 54-hole stroke play event held at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Evans, Georgia, and famed Augusta National Golf Club.
The first two rounds are played over at Champions Retreat, followed by a practice round at Augusta National Friday. The entire field will play the practice round, while the top-30 players from the stroke play rounds will advance to Saturday’s final round at Augusta National.
The inaugural tournament took place in 2019, was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and returned last year with a limited number of patrons in attendance.
Here’s what you need to know for the week. All times Eastern.
