Opening Golf to the World
First played in 1919, the R&A Girls’ Amateur Championship is a highly coveted junior title.
In 2026 Marta Muñoz claimed the title after defeating compatriot Adriana Garcia Terol in the 36-hole final at Craigielaw Golf Club. In the first all-Spanish final since the Championship began in 1919, the 16-year-old won 3&2. Notable past winners include major champions and Solheim Cup players such as Anna Nordqvist, Suzann Pettersen, Azahara Munoz and Georgia Hall. More recently, Slovenia's Pia Babnik triumphed in 2019 and has already gone on to win on the Ladies’ European Tour. The winner gains exemptions into the Women’s Amateur Championship, the US Girls’ Junior Championship, Final Qualifying for the AIG Women’s Open and by tradition, an invite to compete at Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship.The Girls' Amateur ChampionshipGallery
