The Girls Amateur Championship

First played in 1919, the R&A Girls’ Amateur Championship is a highly coveted junior title.

Past winners include major champions and Solheim Cup players such as Anna Nordqvist, Suzann Pettersen, Azahara Munoz and Georgia Hall. More recently, Slovenia’s Pia Babnik triumphed in 2019 and has already gone on to win on the Ladies’ European Tour.The winner gains exemptions into the Women’s Amateur Championship, the US Girls’ Junior Championship, Final Qualifying for the AIG Women’s Open and the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.

For the first time, the match play stages of the R&A Girls’ and Boys’ Amateur championships will be played simultaneously at one venue when they are held at Carnoustie. The Angus course hosted the AIG Women’s Open in 2021 and The Open in 2018 and is regarded as one of the greatest tests in golf.
