ERIN, Wis. — This week’s U.S. Women’s Open  at Erin Hills GC showcases the best female golfers in the world in a place and a state that has become familiar with major championship golf.

It’s the fifth major championship held at this course since it opened in 2006 with both a men's and women's U.S. Open and a men’s and women’s U.S. Amateur. Add those to the five staged in Kohler, 70 miles northeast, plus one in 2024 at Stevens Point, a 2-hour northwest and four coming to Sand Valley, 90 minutes to the west.
