The 50th AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes features Nelly Korda and Haeran Ryu each chasing a third major this year — a feat achieved only six times in golf history. Both have won two majors in 2026, marking the first season with multiple two-time major winners. The winner will also claim the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award.

Korda seeks a career Grand Slam after winning the U.S. Women's Open, her third different major. A victory would make her the first since Inbee Park to complete the Slam and secure her LPGA Hall of Fame spot. Defending champion Miyu Yamashita aims to become the first back-to-back winner since Yani Tseng in 2011, buoyed by four top-five finishes in her last six starts.

British hopes rest on Charley Hull, a five-time major runner-up, and Lottie Woad, seeking a third straight top-10. The event also finalizes Team Europe's Solheim Cup qualifiers, with captain Anna Nordqvist set to announce four picks next week. Over 50,000 fans are expected at Royal Lytham, where Georgia Hall won in 2018 and Catriona Matthew in 2009.
