The 2022 U.S. Senior Women's Open will take place August 25–28 at NCR Country Club in Dayton, Ohio, and be the fourth U.S. Senior Women's Open. It is a professional golf tournament organized by the United States Golf Association, open to women over 50 years of age.
Venue[]
The hosting club had previously hosted the 2005 U.S. Senior Open, the 1986 U.S. Women's Open and the 1969 PGA Championship on its South Course, were the championship will take place.
The club's two courses, the South Course and the North Course, located in Kettering, 7 kilometres south of the city center of Dayton, Ohio, was designed by Dick Wilson and opened in 1954.[1]
Format[]
The walking-only tournament is played over 72 holes of stroke play, with the top 50 and ties making the 36-hole cut. Should there be a tie after 72 holes, a two-hole aggregate playoff will directly take place.
Field[]
The championship is open to any professional or amateur golfer who is 50 years of age or over, however restricted by a certain handicap level. Players enter the competition, either exempt through some of several exemption categories, including winners of the U.S. Women's Open, winners of other LPGA majors and winners of the U.S. Women's Amateur, or entering sectional qualifying at sites nationwide in the spring of 2022.
The final field of 120 players is expected to include 2021 champion Annika Sörenstam.
