Evian Championship 2022: Tee times, prize money, TV coverage as Nelly Korda and Minjee Lee head field

The major focus switches from the men to the women, as the Evian Championship takes centre stage this week. The fourth of the five women’s majors takes place in Evian, with Jennifer Kupcho, Minjee Lee and Chun In-gee in contention for a second major of the season. Ad/> Kupcho arrives in excellent form, as she teamed up with Lizette Salas for a runaway win in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational at the weekend on the LPGA Tour.

Minjee Lee has fond memories of the event, as she came from seven strokes behind to beat Jeongeun Lee6 in a play-off 12 months ago. As you would expect of a major, it is a top-class field.

Only Lexi Thompson, who suffered an agonising defeat to Chun In-gee in the Women’s PGA Championship last month, is absent from the world’s top 10. Jin Young Ko arrives as the world No. 1, but it will be a learning curve as this will be her first appearance at the Evian, while Nelly Korda is playing her way into form following injury and is vying for favouritism.

The Evian was first played in 1994 — has had major status since 2013 — and is the only one to take place on mainland Europe. Course: Evian Resort Golf Course There can be few more picturesque venues in the world of golf than Evian, with the track nestled in the Alps overlooking Lake Geneva. The Evian is the only women’s major that is played on the same track, and it is a course the players have come to know and love.
