2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur

Thomas Lovelock

The Augusta National Women’s Amateur, being held for the sixth time, has quickly risen to become the premier women’s amateur tournament in the world. To wit: Every golfer in the top 50 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking is participating in the 72-player field at the 2025 ANWA, the first time that has happened for any tournament in the history of the WAGR.

Suffice it to say, this was the goal when Augusta National Golf Club launched the event in 2019, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley specifically hoping its creation would “inspire greater interest and participation in women's golf and create a new, exciting pathway for these players to fulfill their dreams.” Since then, the ANWA, along with the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals, has become a much-anticipated lead-in to the Masters Tournament.

While the ANWA has a short history, its alumni have already gone on to impressive accomplishments. Players who have participated in the event—including 2016 champion Jennifer Kupcho and 2023 winner Rose Zhang—have won a combined 52 titles on the LPGA and Ladies European Tour, and three majors.

The unique format for the 54-hole event continues in 2025. The first and second rounds (April 2-3) will be played at Champions Retreat on Wednesday and Thursday, the Island and Bluff nines presenting their own demanding challenge. The top 30 players and ties then advance to compete at Augusta National during Saturday's final round (April 5), but not before the entire field gets to play a practice round on the famed course when the tournament pauses for a day on Friday.

TV SCHEDULE

For a third straight year, Golf Channel and Peacock are broadcasting the opening two rounds at Champions Retreat. Coverage will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday from 1:30-3:30 p.m. EDT. NBC picks up Saturday’s final round coverage from Augusta National from 12 noon-3 p.m. EDT. The broadcast will also be streaming on Peacock and the NBC Sports app.
