4 Unique Challenges that U.S. Women’s Open Week Presents on the LPGA Tour

The U.S. Women’s Open is known for being a challenging test of golf, with players often expressing exhaustion after rounds. The tournament is set up to be difficult, with the course playing long and featuring narrow fairways with thick rough that punishes errant shots. Lancaster Country Club, the host of the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open, measures 6,629 yards with a par of 70, making it one of the longer courses on the LPGA schedule.

Even the longest hitters on tour, like Nelly Korda, find themselves facing long approach shots into the greens due to the length of the course. Accuracy off the tee is crucial at the U.S. Women’s Open, as players must navigate the narrow fairways to avoid the thick rough that lines the course. This combination of length and accuracy makes the tournament a supreme test for the players.

The course setup for a U.S. Women’s Open is different from a typical tour event, with narrower fairways and quicker greens with more undulations. Players must adjust to the conditions and stay patient throughout the round, as there is no let-up on any of the 18 holes. Good U.S. Open putters are able to adapt to the speed and break of the greens early in the tournament, giving them an advantage on the tricky putting surfaces.

Winning the U.S. Women’s Open can be life-changing for players, both in terms of the money and the prestige that comes with the title. The largest purse in women’s golf, at $12 million, is up for grabs at the U.S. Women’s Open, making it a major event on the LPGA schedule. Defending champion Allisen Corpuz has seen her life change in many ways since her victory, with new opportunities and connections opening up for her.

The pressure of competing in the U.S. Women’s Open can be intense, but many players embrace the challenge and find enjoyment in the difficulty of the tournament. The atmosphere at a major championship like the U.S. Women’s Open is different from a regular tour event, with a heightened sense of excitement and adrenaline. Players like Brooke Henderson find the challenge of the tournament to be rewarding and look forward to rising to the occasion when things get tough on the course.
