The men may be done with their majors until 2022, but the best women golfers in the world have two more majors on their schedule, beginning with this week’s 2021 Amundi Evian Championship. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament.
Evian Championship preview
The Evian Championship has been around for over 20 years, first becoming an LPGA Tour event in 2000. Then in 2013, the tournament was officially upgraded to a full-on major championship, the fifth major on the women’s circuit. Last year’s event was unfortunately cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now the game’s best are ready to compete for a major in France once again.
5 things I learned from talking gear with recent major-winner Nelly Korda
Many fans will have their attention directed at Nelly Korda. The 22-year-old American star already has six wins under her belt. Last month, after a series of close calls, she captured her first major championship victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club, rising to World No. 1 in the process.
If Korda is going to win rare back-to-back majors, she’ll have to get past a stellar field featuring the defending champion (from 2019) Jin Young Ko, Lydia Ko, Sei Young Kim, Inbee Park, her sister Jessica Korda and many, many more.
