The U.S. Women's Open, first played in 1946, stands as the most prestigious championship in women's professional golf so which talented ladies have managed to win the competition?
istered by the United States Golf Association (USGA), it is one of the five major championships in the women's game and consistently attracts the sport's elite, crowning the greatest players of their time.
Played annually, the tournament features the highest level of competition and is known for its rigorous course setups and high-intensity environments creating a pressure cooker only the very best can survive.
Since its inception, many of the sport's all-time greats have left their mark on the championship, and among those, Mickey Wright and Betsy Rawls top the historical charts, each securing four titles.
Wright's dominance in the late 1950s and early 1960s set a new standard for women's golf, while Rawls was a trailblazer in the earlier years of the championship as both booked their places in history.
Over the years, several golfers have managed to distinguish themselves with multiple U.S. Women's Open victories, a feat that demands both skill and endurance, such as Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Susie Maxwell Berning, Hollis Stacy and Annika Sorenstam, who have each won the event three times.
Now in its 80th edition, the U.S. Women's Open continues to symbolize the pinnacle of achievement in women's golf. As it is contested this year at Erin Hills in Wisconsin, fans and players alike look forward to witnessing the continuation of this remarkable championship.
