The much-awaited final major of the season on the LPGA Tour has arrived! It is scheduled to be hosted from August 21 to August 25 at the Old Course, St. Andrews. Lilia Vu will be entering the course as the defending champion. Last year, Vu triumphed over Charley Hull by a whopping six strokes, grabbing the trophy along with $1.3 million.

This year, Nelly Korda will be leading the 144-player field. The best players on the women’s golf circuit will be competing for a purse of $9 million, which is also considered to be one of the biggest purses of the 2024 season. This will also be the last chance for the players to grab a spot at the Solheim Cup, for those who have not. Are you excited to watch all the action, but don’t have the tickets? Don’t worry, you can now enjoy the streaming from the comfort of your home.

The AIG Women’s Open will be streaming on USA Network

The entire TV coverage of the 2024 AIG Women’s Open will be available on NBC and the USA Network. For the first two rounds, that is, on Thursday and Friday, the entire match will be streaming only on USA Network from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Along with the USA Network, for the last two days of the tournament, even NBC will have streaming rights for all the action from the Old Course. On Saturday and Sunday, the USA Network will be streaming the game from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

On the other hand, NBC will be streaming it from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. both days.  All the timings are given based on ET. Furthermore, if you wish to catch all of it live on TV, all you need to do is download the Peacock app either on your phone or have it on your TV. Peacock is the primary streaming partner for the 2024 AIG Women’s Open. This also includes the simulcasts of the TV coverage by NBC.

The 2024 AIG Women’s Open is indeed going to be an epic battle. One of the highlights of the event is that while one of the professional golfers will take home the trophy, the best amateur will still be rewarded with a special feat at the end of the championship.

The Smyth Salver Award for amateurs

Each year, international female players compete for the championship trophy, with the low amateur, who plays 72 holes, awarded the Smyth Salver. Last year, it was Charlotte Heath who bagged the award, finishing at T61 with Eun-Her Ji, Ruoning Yin, Cara Gainer, and Jodi Ewart Shadoff. She managed to reach an even par ending only in the second round, but for the other three, she went over par.

Nonetheless, she managed to score a 7-over 295 at the 2023 AIG Women’s Open. She was five strokes ahead of Julia Lopez Ramirez, who finished at 72 with a 12-over. She was the second-best amateur on the field. This year, the top contender for the award is Lottie Woad of England. Are you excited for the fifth major of the season to kick in?
