Golf is open to all
The R&A Women’s Senior Amateur Championship was first played in 1981 and is open to players aged 50 years and over.
For the first time, the R&A Women’s and Men’s Senior Amateur championships were played concurrently at Royal Dornoch in 2022 - with Mike McCoy and Terrill Samuel crowned winners. That new format continues at Frilford Heath in 2026. In 2025 Kathy Hartwiger from the USA secured victory, winning by three shots over Ireland’s Tracy Eakin thanks to a one-over-par tally of 297.Recruitment
