Weekend Qualification Period for US Women's Open Golf Tournament at Erin Hills: Number of Participants Progressing to Final Days
The 2024 US Women's Open, one of the most prestigious tournaments in women's golf, is set to dish out a whopping $12 million in prize money. Just like the upcoming event, Erin Hills will be hosting the largest purse in the women's game.
Even a miss at the cut won't leave you penniless, as a $10,000 payout is still guaranteed. However, the real moolah comes during the weekend, but will only a select group of 60 scorers and ties make the cut?
Last year, 75 players managed to make it to the weekend at Lancaster Country Club. It's safe to assume that there will be a similar number qualifying this year, with a few potential big names slipping through the cracks. Likely contenders who might not make it beyond the second round this year include Lilia Vu, Megan Khang, and Rose Zhang.
The US Women'sOpen is renowned for its demanding nature, and this was evident in 2024. At Lancaster Country Club, players finishing their second round eight-over for the tournament were still able to extend their stay, with 75 eventually making it to the weekend.
While the 2024 event took place at Lancaster Country Club, the 2025 US Women's Open will be held at Erin Hills, with a field of 156 players to start. Prepare for some nail-biting moments as the weekend approaches!
