The 50th edition of the AIG Women’s Open returns to the storied fairways of Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire for its climactic final day, and the tournament’s schedule has been released in full. Below is a detailed rundown of the pairings, tee‑off times, and the storylines that will shape Sunday’s showdown. Leading the field, South Korean prodigy Yealimi Noh sits atop the leaderboard with a three‑stroke advantage as she prepares to tee off at 2:35 p.m. alongside Germany’s Esther Henseleit.
Noh’s steady play over the first three rounds has positioned her as the favorite, but the pressure of a major final can change any narrative in an instant. World No.
2 Jeongeun “Jeeno” Thitikul of Thailand will be paired with American rising star Lucy Li in the penultimate group, also set for a 2:35 p.m. start. Their pairing promises a thrilling contrast of styles – Thitikul’s relentless precision against Li’s powerful ball‑striking – and both will be eager to capitalize on any slip‑ups from the leaders. After a dramatic third round, second‑round leader Haeran Ryu of South Korea saw her momentum stall, finishing the day at four‑under par after an opening round of seven‑under.
Ryu will join the early afternoon action at 2:15 p.m., paired with Japan’s Ayaka Furue, providing a chance for redemption as she looks to climb back into contention. England’s 22‑year‑old Lottie Woad, who displayed a noticeable improvement on Friday but continued to struggle with her putting, will start at 2:05 p.m. alongside Furue.
Woad remains four strokes off the lead, yet her youthful energy and determination could produce a surprise surge. Charley Hull, also representing England and hunting her first major title, rebounded from a shaky Saturday with consecutive birdies on holes 15 and 16, lifting her to two‑under after 54 holes.
Hull will share the tee with New Zealand’s Lydia Ko at 1:45 p.m., a pairing that pits two former major champions against each other in a battle for the coveted green jacket. All tee times are listed in British Summer Time (BST) unless otherwise noted, and amateur status is indicated with an (x) beside the player’s name.
