The final women’s major championship of the year begins Thursday morning at The Old Course at St. Andrews. The 2024 AIG Women’s British Open is loaded with the best players in the game including defending champion Lilia Vu, Nelly Korda, Jin Young Ko, Lydia Ko, Rose Zhang and Brooke Henderson, among others.
Vu, who won the Meijer LPGA Classic earlier this season and tied for second at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, tied for 25th last week at the Women’s Scottish Open.
The last time the AIG Women’s British Open was held at The Old Course, Stacy Lewis took home the title.
