The 2024 U.S. Women’s Open will return to Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Penn., for the second time this spring. In Lancaster Country Club’s U.S. Women’s Open debut in 2015, the championship was won by In-Gee Chun, who claimed her first major with the victory. She has since won two more majors, the 2016 Evian and the 2022 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Amateur and professional U.S. Women’s Open hopefuls now have a designated path to the championship. On Tuesday, the USGA released the host course list for the U.S. Women’s Open’s 2024 qualifiers. The qualifiers will be held on 23 total sites across 17 states, plus one each in Canada, Japan and Germany, between April 15 and May 20.
Unlike the men’s championship, the women do not play in 18-hole local qualifiers to earn entry into final qualifying. Instead, women compete over 36 holes at one of the 26 qualifying sites, with top finishers earning direct entry into the championship.
To enter the championship, amateur women must have a USGA handicap index of 2.4 or better.
Demand for the U.S. Women’s Open has been on an upward trajectory, breaking entry records in back-to-back years. Last year, the USGA set a new record for the number of entries as 2,107 players attempted to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach.
Hopeful qualifiers can apply online until April 3 at 5 p.m. ET. The U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster CC will be played May 30-June 2, 2024. Check out the full list of 2024 qualifying sites below.
