AIG Women’s Open 2021
19th – 22nd August 2021
Established in 1976, by the Ladies’ Golf Union, the AIG Women’s Open is a major championship recognised by both the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour. Fulford Golf Club, York was the first venue, and as the status of the competition continued to increase, more and more prestigious courses have held the event, including many of the links courses which have also hosted the Men’s Open Championship including Royal Birkdale, St Andrews, Turnberry and Carnoustie.
In 2020, we saw Royal Troon host the event, for its first time marking the 44th year of the event and 20th year as a major tournament on the women’s golfing calendar. Ranked 304th and without an LPGA Tour Card going into the tournament, underdog, Sophia Popov was crowned champion and Germany’s first female major winner. A fantastic achievement for the 28 year old!

The Venue
Carnoustie Golf Links
Par 72, 6945 yards
Located just 25 miles north from ‘The Home of Golf’, St Andrews, Golf has been played over the links at Carnoustie dating back to the early 1500’s. Along with the previous Women’s Open held in 2011, the Championship Course has hosted eight Open Championships most recently in 2018, and two Senior Opens making it one of the very few to have done so in the UK. It is also one of the three courses used for the annual Dunhill Links Championship (others being Kingsbarns and The Old Course).
Carnoustie is regarded as one of the toughest test of links golf, with one of the toughest closing stretch of holes! This final stretch consists of a long par 3, and 2 tough par 4’s with the ‘Barry Burn’ meandering throughout. Thus, it is enough to bring even the greatest golfer to their knee
