“Since the announcement of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in April, we have remained determined to organize a competition that will provide a meaningful impact on the development of the women’s game,” Augusta National and Masters chairman Fred Ridley said. “While we aim to stage a first-class championship, our motivation goes beyond the scores posted between the ropes. By providing this opportunity and shining a brighter light on this important segment of the sport, we expect role models to emerge who will help inspire a new generation of golfers.”
The ANWA will boast an international field of 72 players who will be cut down to 30 for the final round. Fans wishing to attend the event can request a ticket application through Sept. 30 at ANWAgolf.com. Similar to the lottery for Masters tickets, a two-ticket maximum will be considered for each entrant, each day, one per household.
