The U.S. Women’s Amateur is one of the oldest U.S. Golf Association championships and the first major golf tournament for women in the country.
Starting in 1895, it’s the third-oldest USGA championship, just behind the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open. The top female amateurs in the world vie for the Robert Cox Trophy, which remains the oldest surviving trophy awarded for a USGA championship. It’s also the only USGA trophy donated by someone from another country, coming from Scotland’s Robert Cox.
