Woad, Lee Highlight AIG Women’s Open Final Major

The AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl serves as the final major of the women’s golf season, carrying significant implications for year-end honors and historic achievements. Lottie Woad enters as the tournament favorite after her professional debut win at the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open and strong amateur performances, surpassing world No. 1 Nelly Korda and defending champion Lydia Ko in pre-tournament odds. Woad, now ranked in the world’s top 25, has earned recognition from peers for her composure and readiness under pressure. Despite the spotlight, Woad maintains she feels no extra pressure and believes any contender could win, given the depth of the field. Minjee Lee is also in contention, seeking a career grand slam and aiming to become only the eighth woman to do so. The tournament is expected to deliver high drama as emerging talents and established stars compete for major honors.
