Augusta National Women’s Amateur Tees Off Wednesday With 48 of Top 50 Amateurs

A 72-player elite amateur field competes for a title that unlocks starts in four women's majors.

Overview

  • Play opens Wednesday with 36 holes at Champions Retreat, then the top 30 and ties finish Saturday at Augusta National after a Friday practice round.
  • The 72-player lineup features 48 of the world’s top 50 amateurs, with world No. 1 Kiara Romero and 2025 runner-up Asterisk Talley among the headliners.
  • U.S. coverage runs on Golf Channel for the first two rounds with the final on NBC and Peacock, while Sky Sports carries all three rounds live in the UK.
  • Last year’s winner Carla Bernat Escuder has turned professional, so the 2025 champion will not defend the title.
  • The winner, if she remains an amateur, receives five future ANWA invitations and berths in four women’s majors, with any 54-hole tie decided by sudden-death.
