The Evergreen State of the U.S. saw Amy Yang take the third major. Now, the French Alps are ready to crown the fourth major winner of 2024 at the Amundi Evian Championship. Elevated to major status back in 2013, this year’s edition is set to tee off from July 11 to July 14 at the Evian Resort Golf Club.

A field of 132 players, comprising golfers from both the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour, will be battling for a huge purse of $8 million. Some will look to add another major to their name, while for others, it will be a fight to earn their first major title. But how can one watch this action-packed event?

It will be barely dawn on Thursday in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, but for golf enthusiasts who don’t want to miss the action on the French greens, you’ll have to turn to the most popular and trusted golf broadcaster, the Golf Channel, from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. ET. You can also rely on Peacock for the first round from 6 a.m. to noon ET. The same schedule applies for the second round as well.

Talking about the British counterparts of US golf enthusiasts, they can turn to Sky Sports Mix to get the major’s coverage. For the Thursday and Friday rounds, they’ll have to tune in at 11 a.m. BST, while for the final two rounds, the time of airing will be shifted a bit; they’ll have to turn to Sky Sports Mix at 9 a.m. BST.

How is the field of the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship Looking?

Beginning with the defending champion, Celine Boutier. Her win last year made her the first Frenchwoman to win the Amundi Evian Championship. Although 2024 hasn’t been in her favor, as she has managed just one top finish so far (finishing 2nd at the HSBC Women’s World Championship), she will receive significant support from French fans. Ally Ewing is one of the hottest players in the field, having been in form for the last four tournaments with top-10 finishes in each.

After returning from her injury (a two-month hiatus), Lila Vu has been in excellent form, winning her returning tournament (the 2024 Meijer Classic) and finishing at T2 in the 2024 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Adding to the injury theme, Charley Hull, who was forced to withdraw from the Aramco Team Series London due to a shoulder injury caused by a fall, will be returning for the major. Last but not least, Nelly Korda will also be returning to the greens for the major after withdrawing from the 2024 Aramco Team Series London due to a dog bite. The world number one has struggled in her last three events, missing cuts in all of them. Do you think she will be able to regain her momentum and claim another major to her name?
