☆ Preparing for the Evian Championship
  + stars: | 2023-07-26 | by ( Paul Sullivan | More About Paul Sullivan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Brooke Henderson, who has won 20 times since turning professional in 2014, rolled in a putt on the final hole of last year’s Amundi Evian Championship to win the women’s major by one shot over the rookie Sophia Schubert. It was Henderson’s seventh time playing the championship, which starts on Thursday and is the only major played in continental Europe. It is also the only women’s major played on the same course every year, the Evian Resort Golf Club in France, which has hosted the tournament for nearly 30 years. It’s been called quirky and unfair, and one player, Stacy Lewis, who is a major champion, skipped it for two years. It also stands in contrast to courses for the other majors, which have moved to be hosted at the same venues where the men have won.

☆ For the British Open, You Just Can’t Forget the Weather

Royal Liverpool is hosting the British Open, which starts on Thursday, for the third time in 20 years. And the biggest deciding factor in how the course plays and who wins could be the one thing that the R&A, golf’s governing body in Britain, has no control over: the weather. When Tiger Woods won here in 2006, the course was firm and baked out, with temperatures approaching 100 degrees. Eight years later, Rory McIlroy played the same course, which dates from 1869, in vastly different conditions. The temperatures were in the 70s, and a severe rainstorm blew through after the third round.

☆ Suddenly, There Is Money in Women’s Golf

player Allisen Corpuz tapped in her final putt on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links this month, she won the United States Women’s Open with a memorable final round, overtaking the leader and holding off a surging challenger in Charley Hull. Corpuz also cashed a $2 million first-place check, which was more than double what Annika Sorenstam won for all three of her U.S. Women’s Open victories combined. Despite losing ProMedica, the health care company, as presenting sponsor for the Open, the United States Golf Association increased the total prize purse by $1 million to $11 million this year. It’s part of a broader move in women’s professional golf to increase sponsorship for tournaments as well as for individual golfers. Over the past few years, purses have risen at tournaments, new sponsors have sought out golfers and even players who are not at the top of their careers have reaped the benefits.

☆ The Genesis Scottish Open Rises in Stature
  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Paul Sullivan | More About Paul Sullivan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Renaissance Club, the site of the Genesis Scottish Open that begins on Thursday, looks like it’s been there for hundreds of years, like so many other great links courses in Britain. Like all true links courses, it winds along the coast with few trees; wind, rain, heat and cold become issues for players. It has firm fairways that can kick a well-hit drive forward an extra 50 yards or punish an equally well-struck shot with an unlucky bounce. Muirfield, home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and regular host of the British Open, abuts the course. And down the road is North Berwick Golf Club, where the sport has been played since 1832.
