The U.S. Women`s Open is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious tournaments featured on the LPGA Tour calendar. This championship has been held annually since 1946. The inaugural event was contested using a match-play format. The record for the most U.S. Women`s Open titles is shared by Betsy Rawls (who won in 1951, 1953, 1957, and 1960) and Mickey Wright (victorious in 1958, 1959, 1961, and 1964), each claiming four championships.
In the 2025 U.S. Women`s Open, Maja Stark emerged as the champion, defeating notable competitors including top-ranked Nelly Korda and Rio Takeda by a margin of two strokes.
