About the tournament

The North & South Women's Amateur is played simultaneously with the Men's North & South at the legendary Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. The starting field is composed of 120 players competing in two rounds of stroke play qualifying on No. 2 and No. 4. The top 32 are seeded into match play brackets, with matches contested entirely on the famed Pinehurst No. 2, with two rounds daily until a champion is crowned.

Strength of field

Exempt entries include past champions, recent U.S. Women's Amateur contestants, 2025 U.S. Women's Open players, and the top 300 WAGR-ranked players as of April 30, anchoring an elite 120-player field.

Course expectations

Donald Ross's Pinehurst No. 2 will test creativity, nerve, and short-game precision with its turtle-back greens and strategic subtleties; Gil Hanse's elevated No. 4 rewards shot-making and bold play in the stroke-play rounds.

Weather risk

Early July in North Carolina brings heat, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorm potential; hydration and pace management will be critical during two-match days.
