One of the greatest amateur fields in women’s golf will descend upon one of the greatest golf courses in the sport this week. The 2025 Augusta National Women’s Amateur represents the sixth playing of the event and boasts the strongest list of competitors yet.
The elite field of 72 amateurs is made up of 49 of the top 50 players in the women’s World Amateur Golf Rankings with Canada’s Vanessa Borovilos (No. 42) the lone exception. Players are competing across 36 holes of stroke play at Champions Retreat Golf Club before the field is trimmed to the top 30 players and ties with the golf transitioning to Augusta National Golf Club.
After the first two rounds, players who make the cut will get to experience a practice round at Augusta National on Friday before competition resumes for the final round Saturday.
Not only are many of the top names ready to contend for one of the grandest prizes in the women’s amateur game, those who have already have claimed the title are seeking further glory. Three past champions are expected to tee it up this week, including reigning champion and world No. 1 Lottie Woad.
The Englishwoman made birdie on three of her final four holes to claim the 2024 championship and has not stopped since. She is aiming to become the first multiple-time winner of the event and the first to successfully defend this week at Augusta National.
In order to accomplish that goal, Woad will need to battle from behind. Her 65 in the opening round of play at Champions Retreat tied Rose Zhang for lowest round in tournament history … until Megha Ganne set a new ANWA record with a 63 to take a two-stroke lead after 18 holes.
Let’s take a look at what else you need to know ahead of the ANWA.
