The women's major golf season is reaching its peak with the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, and Sky Sports is providing more extensive coverage than ever before. Miyu Yamashita is back to defend her title after her historic win last year at Royal Porthcawl, aiming to become the first consecutive winner of the AIG Women's Open since Yani Tseng in 2011.
Nelly Korda, the pre-tournament favorite, is on track to claim her third major title this season, having already won the Chevron Championship and the US Women's Open, which would secure her place in the LPGA Hall of Fame and complete her career Grand Slam. Haeran Ryu is also chasing her third consecutive major title, while Jeeno Thitikul and Hyojoo Kim are among other competitors vying for victory. For British golf fans, Charley Hull and Lottie Woad are among the homegrown talents looking to claim their maiden major title and become the first Englishwoman to win a major since Georgia Hall in 2018. This event is also crucial as the last in the qualification campaign for Europe's Solheim Cup team.
Sky Sports is offering unparalleled live coverage, including Featured Groups for the first time, and live action from all four rounds. Viewers can catch one-hour highlights each evening at 11pm on Sky Sports, with a full replay of the final round the following Monday. The iconic Royal Lytham course, a two-time Ryder Cup venue and host of The Open 11 times, promises a challenging par-71 layout over 6,601 yards with over 170 pot bunkers.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the course first hosting The Open, won by Bobby Jones. The AIG Women's Open can be watched live on Sky Sports Golf, with coverage also available on the Sky Sports app and through a NOW Day or Month pass for non-Sky customers. A dedicated live blog will provide updates for those on the move, and near-live clips and post-round highlights will be available on the Sky Sports app.
