About the tournament

Held without interruption since its inception in 1901, the Women's Western Amateur is one of the longest-running annual championships in women's amateur golf. Each year, it draws many of the top amateur and collegiate players from around the world. The list of past champions includes LPGA greats like Nancy Lopez (1976), Cristie Kerr (1995), Stacy Lewis (2006), and Ariya Jutanugarn (2012).

ENTRY INFORMATION
The Women's Western Amateur is open to amateur women who have an up-to-date 18-hole handicap index that does not exceed 3.4 under the World Handicap System. The field is limited to 120 players. The championship begins with 36 holes of stroke-play qualifying, after which the field is cut to the low 32 players for match play. In the event of a tie for the 32nd position, a sudden-elimination playoff will determine the final match play qualifiers. Five rounds of 18-hole matches will decide the Women's Western Amateur champion.

The champion receives fully exempt status into the next ten Women's Western Amateur Championships (while eligible) and an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur. The event is recognized by World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) and is part of the Women's Elite Amateur Golf Series.
