From 26 to 29 April, the Circolo Golf Torino course hosts the Women's International Italian Championship with the participation of some of the best Italian and European players.

The German Helen Briem will return to defend the title conquered in 2022, in a context of 116 members from ten countries: Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, Finland and the Czech Republic. The tournament takes place on the distance of 72 stroke play holes with a cut after 54 which will leave the first 60 classified in the competition and tied for 60th place.

Briem will have numerous competitors able to prevent her from an encore, including several blue ones such as Francesca Fiorellini, Paris Appendino, Francesca Pompa, Ginevra Coppa, Diana Maria Casartelli, Matilde Partele and Guia Vittoria Acutis, to name a few, but there are many others able to take the stage. Foreign players include the French Constance Fouillett, Maylis Lamoure, Varaina Heck and Inès Archer, the Swiss Flavia Tamburlini and Sophia Sindersberger, the Belgian Louise Cuyvers and the Czech Klara Sionkova.

The Azzurri will try to establish themselves in a tournament they have not won since 2014 (Alessandra Braida) and which in recent years has been the prerogative of players who are now standing out in the professional world such as the Austrian Emma Spitz (2015, 2018) and the transalpine Pauline Roussin (2019) and Charlotte Liautier (2021).

The Rules of Golf are a set of standard rules and procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and maintained by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the governing body for golf worldwide, outside of the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert commission made up of members of the R&A and USGA, oversees and refines the rules every four years. The latest revision has been in force since January 1, 2016. Changes to the rules of golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding and those that in certain cases reduce penalties to ensure balance. The rule book, entitled "Rules of Golf", is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy it is up to Federgolf to supervise the competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and manages the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
