How To Watch The Women’s Open 2025: Live streams, TV Coverage, Schedule

Last year’s Leading Amateur, Lottie Woad, and AIG Women’s Open Champion, Lydia Ko with the Smyth Salver and AIG Women's Open trophy after the trophy presentation at St Andrews.

Watch the AIG Women's Open as the world's best players compete in women's golf's final Major of 2025, with all the details on TV coverage and live streaming in this guide.

AIG Women’s Open 2025 Key Information

Dates: July 31 - August 3, 2025

Venue: Royal Porthcawl, Porthcawl, Bridgend, Wales.

Free stream: R&A TV (UK and selected countries)

US: NBC, Peacock
UK: Sky Sports

Watch from anywhere: Use NordVPN

Miyu Yamashita will spend the her 24th birthday playing in the third round of the AIG Women’s Open. She will do so as the overnight leader.

She leads by three shots at halfway from fellow Japanese golfer Rio Takeda. They got the best half of the draw: those playing late Thursday and early Friday averaged two shots better than those in the other half of the draw.

Lottie Woad is part of the group tied in 10th, having derailed her second round with a triple bogey on the par-4 16th.

She shares 10th spot with, among others, Nelly Korda and Royal Porthcawl member Darcey Harry.

History is being made this week at the 49th Women’s Open as Wales hosts its first Major championship in either the men’s or women’s game.

Royal Porthcawl’s beautiful links will test the best women golfers, especially if the wind blows hard. It did when the men’s Senior Open was held here in 2023 and no-one in the top 10 broke 75 in the final round.

Much focus is on 21-year-old Englishwoman Lottie Woad who plays her first Major as professional. In her seven Majors she has won Low Amateur three times, including in her most recent Major appearance when she came tied third, missing out on the playoff by a shot.

She is on a fine run of form, having this month won both the Women’s Irish Open by six strokes and the Women’s Scottish Open by three shots.

The defending champion is Lydia Ko, one of 13 past Women's Open Champions teeing it up in South Wales.

One who has yet to win this event is World No.1 Nelly Korda, who has also yet to win this year. There can few more scenic places for her to break her duck.

AIG Women’s Open 2025: How to watch from outside your country

There are plenty of ways to watch golf in 2025 including in the US, UK and almost anywhere else but you won't be able to tune into your regular streaming service if you're away from home because of geo-blocking.

Fortunately, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) will allow you to tune in from abroad and let you watch the same legal, high-quality golf live stream you would at home, all while boosting your internet security.

NordVPN is the No.1 VPN on the market, according to our expert colleagues at Tom's Guide. Extensive unblocking capabilities, fast speeds, wide-ranging compatibility and top-notch security make it the best in class.
