Amundi Evian Championship 2024: Who is in the field?

Who is in the field at the Evian Championship?

Today’s Golfer takes a look at the players contending for the fourth major of the women’s golf calendar, the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship.

Taking place from 11th-14th July in southeastern France, the Amundi Evian Championship will attract the world’s best to battle it out for a major title.

Now, how do the players qualify for this French escapade? It’s not just a matter of packing your golf clubs and saying, “Bonjour!” to the tournament officials. There are seven different routes to qualifying for the Amundi Evian Championship, and competing for a share of the $8 million purse:

• Previous Evian Championship winners: Any past winner earns automatic exemption into the tournament.
• Major winners: Any golfer who’s won a major in the last five years gets an invitation.
• Top 50 in the World: The top 50 ladies in the Rolex World Golf Rankings qualify automatically.
• LPGA Tour victories: Winners from every LPGA Tour event in the year leading up to the Evian Championship will be invited.
• Qualifying tournaments: Some spots are reserved for those who battle it out in specific qualifying tournaments leading up to the major.
• Top finishers: Certain players from other major tournaments and high-ranking circuits (like the LET – Ladies European Tour) get the nod to compete, such as players that finished in the top-10 at the previous year’s Evian Championship.
• Special invitations: The tournament committee has a few wildcard entries up their sleeves for promising talent or special cases.

2023 Champion Celine Boutier will be looking to defend her title on home soil, but there’s no sign of Lexi Thompson in the field. Thompson announced her retirement from professional golf earlier this year, so it remains to be seen whether she’ll tee it up at The Evian Resort this year.

Brooke Henderson will be looking to regain the trophy after her 2022 win, and 2023 second-place finish, with recent major champion Amy Yang aiming to add another major title to her name.

2024 US Women’s Open champion Yuka Saso will also be looking to land a second major this year, but Chevron Champion Nelly Korda’s appearance will depend on her recovery from a dog bite, after she was forced to pull out of the Aramco Series event in London last week.
