The women’s major season reaches its climax this week at the AIG Women’s Open, with extended coverage from Royal Porthcawl live on Sky Sports.
Lydia Ko returns as defending champion after last year’s two-shot victory at St Andrews, with the three-time major winner aiming to become the first player to successfully defend her AIG Women’s Open title since Yani Tseng in 2011.
Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul will resume their battle for world No 1 and look to challenge for their first major wins of the season, while all four of this year’s major champions – Mao Saigo, Maja Stark, Minjee Lee and Grace Kim – are scheduled to feature.

Charley Hull looks to end a seven-year wait for a women’s major winner from England, two years on from finishing runner-up to Lilia Vu at Walton Heath, with Lottie Woad another home hope expected to impress in her first major as a professional.
Woad threatened a historic major victory at the Evian Championship victory last month – when still an amateur and a week after winning on the Ladies European Tour – and the 21-year-old has another opportunity to challenge for glory.

Sky Sports will once again have extended live coverage from the women’s major finale, with seven hours of live action for each tournament day and a special preview show looking ahead to the event.
Coverage will begin from midday for all four rounds, starting from Thursday, while there will be a daily one-hour highlights show to look back at the best of the previous round’s action on Sky Sports Golf.
Speaking to Sky Sports News earlier this year, Charley Hull discussed her determination to get over the line and land a first major title in 2025
