The inaugural round of the 50th AIG Women's Open will kick off at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, and the full schedule of pairings and tee times has now been released. Defending champion Miyu Yamashita is set to return to the links, aiming to become the first player to repeat as champion since Yani Tseng. Yamashita will start her round in the late‑early wave, sharing the tee with world No. 2 Jeongeun "Jeeno" Lee (Thitikul) and England’s Lauren Coughlin, creating a compelling trio of talent for golf fans to watch.
Two of the season’s most successful major winners have been placed together for the first two days of competition. World No. 1 Nelly Korda will tee off early on Thursday alongside South Korean rising star Haeran Ryu and New Zealand legend Lydia Ko, providing an early showcase of elite skill.
The tournament organizers have deliberately grouped these top‑ranked players to generate excitement and ensure that spectators can enjoy high‑quality golf from the very start. The schedule also highlights several players who are seeking their first major title. Lottie Woad of England will begin her quest alongside Japan’s Aki Iwai and American Andrea Lee, while on the opposite side of the draw Charley Hull will be paired with Australian Hannah Green and Canadian Brooke Henderson. These match‑ups set the stage for a dramatic opening day, with seasoned veterans and hungry newcomers all vying for early momentum.
A total of 144 competitors will line up for the final women’s major of the season. Coverage of the Featured Groups begins at 9:00 a.m.
BST on Thursday, with an extended three‑ball segment featuring Korda’s group. Full broadcast coverage will follow at 1:00 p.m., and the tournament will continue with live rounds three and four on the weekend, all streamed via Sky Sports Golf.
