The AIG Women’s Open, morphed from the Ladies Amateur Stroke Play Championship, which was first played in Fulford, York in 1976.
Now, 48 years on, it has become one of the most prestigious tournaments in the women's game, with a purse of $9m for the 2023 tournament at Walton Heath last year.
But where will the final women’s Major of the season be heading in the coming years after 2024's staging at St Andrews' Old Course?
2025 - Royal Porthcawl
The 49th AIG Women’s Open will be held at Royal Porthcawl in south Wales for the first time in 2025.
The club was founded in 1891 before moving to its current site in 1895 and nowadays, the course is regarded as one of the best in Wales.
It also hosted the Senior Open in 2014, 2017 and 2023, which was won by German Alex Cejka. The course has also hosted other prestigious events, including the British Masters, Walker Cup and Curtis Cup.
It has been suggested that Royal Porthcawl should be added to the rota of courses hosting The Open, and a successful staging of the AIG Women's Open could prove the perfect audition.
2026 - Royal Lytham and St Annes
Royal Lytham and St Annes in Lancashire, England, will host the 50th edition of the AIG Women's Open.
It will be far from the first time the Major has been held there, though. It first hosted the tournament in 1998, when Sherri Steinhauer took the title. Five years later, it returned to the venue as Swedish legend Annika Sorenstam claimed her only Women's Open title.
Steinhauer won again there in 2006, while Catriona Matthew took the honours when it hosted for a fourth time in 2009. Most recently, Georgia Hall won the title in 2018, when she beat Pornanong Phatlum by two shots.
The venue is no stranger to other prestigious events, and has memorably held The Open 11 times, most recently in 2012, when Ernie Els beat Adam Scott. It has also hosted two Ryder Cups and is firmly established as one of the world's premier links courses.
