United States Women's Open Golf Championship
|
The U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship is one of the
LPGA's major championships along with the LPGA Championship, the
Women's British Open, and the Kraft Nabisco Championship. It is the
only event to have been recognized as a major by the LPGA since its
founding in 1950; the other current majors were not founded until
later.
Unlike its men's counterpart, the U.S. Women's Open is not globally
recognized as a major championship. The Ladies European Tour does not sanction
any of the three majors held in the United States. However the significance of
this is limited as the LPGA Tour is more dominant in women's golf than the PGA
Tour is in men's golf.
