It’s set to be a thrilling, and historic, week as the US Women’s Open takes place at Riviera Country Club.
Providing the largest tournament purse in women’s golf, a star-studded field will assemble in Los Angeles, with Maja Stark looking to become the eighth player in history to defend the Major.
Claiming victory at Erin Hills in 2025, the Swede will get her campaign underway at 7.07am (PDT) on Thursday from the 10th tee, where Stark is paired alongside Megha Ganne and AIG Women’s Open champion Miyu Yamashita.
In terms of the marquee groupings, tournament favorite and Chevron Championship winner, Nelly Korda, is alongside Hyo Joo Kim and Hannah Green, with the trio already claiming multiple LPGA Tour titles throughout 2026.
The Major winning trio also start from the 10th and get underway at 7.29am, with Korda, Kim and Green following Minjee Lee, Lottie Woad and Nasa Hataoka at 7.18am.

Another notable name in the field is Michelle Wie West, who teed it up at the Mizuho Americas Open after three years away from the game.
Claiming the US Women’s Open in 2014, Wie is alongside Major winners Hinako Shibuno and Yani Tseng, with the trio getting underway at 1.36pm from the first tee.
Following on from the big names in the morning wave, the afternoon wave also possesses some notable stars, with Major winners and Solheim Cup players aplenty.
