The women's golf season also continues at an incessant pace, which from Thursday offers the fourth, and penultimate, major event. The 30th edition of the Amundi Evian Championship will once again be held in Evian-les-Bains, France, at the fabulous Evian Resort Golf Club, located in the hills of the Transalpine Alps and offering wonderful glimpses of views of Lake Geneva.
The tournament, first played in 1994, was played for five years as an event on the Ladies European Tour schedule and, starting in 2000, became an event co-organized by the LET and LPGA circuits. Then in 2013, the French week was elevated to Major status and this year celebrates its highest prize pool to date. In total, there is 8 million dollars up for grabs, with the winner taking home 1.2 million dollars in addition to the Amundi Evian Championship trophy.
Nelly Korda, resultsCeline Boutier defends her title, having driven the home crowd crazy last year by winning her first tournament of this importance in her career. The Frenchwoman did not tremble in the last lap, defending her three-shot lead tooth and nail. This year, however, the story will be different, given that Boutier is anything but in form: a top-10 in the whole of 2024, who knows whether the air of the Evian Resort Golf Club might wake her up.
The champion Nelly Korda returns to the field after the strange stop due to the dog bite, but she must reverse the trend of three consecutive missed cuts (US Women's Open, Meijer LPGA Classic, KPMG Women's PGA Championship) after an absolute dominating start to the season . However, a very high level field, which sees all nine past champions taking part in the week, 11 out of 12 of the 2024 winners on the LPGA and 12 out of 15 on the LET.
One of those to keep an eye on is certainly Ally Ewing, American and one of the fittest players of the moment. The American has never finished outside the top five in her last four starts, although on this course she has missed the cut in two of her last three appearances. Lila Vu also arrives in France particularly energetic, literally unleashed by her return to the field after her injury: victory in the Meijer LPGA Classic and second place at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
