From 13–16 September 120 of the best women golfers will gather high above the<br />
banks of Lake Geneva in Évian-les-Bains, France, for the final Major of the season.<br />
Hosted by the Evian Resort Golf Club, The Evian Championship blends European<br />
chic with elite-level golf in a stunning location at the foot of the Alps. Rolex has<br />
been a partner of the tournament since 2001.<br />
Swedish champion Anna Nordqvist will be looking to defend her title after winning<br />
the 2017 trophy in a play-off marked by torrential rain and wind. With her victory,<br />
the two-time Major champion added her name to the distinguished list of The<br />
Evian Championship winners, which boasts several fellow Rolex Testimonees,<br />
including Annika Sörenstam, winner of a record 10 women’s Majors, and the<br />
prodigious Lydia Ko from New Zealand, who became the youngest golfer to win a<br />
Major after capturing The Evian Championship, aged 18 years, four months and 20<br />
days, in 2015.
