The 2024 US Women’s Open takes place at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, where players will be competing for record prize money of $12m as the profile of the women’s game continues to grow.
It’s not just increasing financial rewards that offer an indication of the encouraging direction the women’s game is taking, though. Many future venues for the women’s game’s marquee Major have also been confirmed, and not one of them isn’t among the most revered in the US.
