Hannah Levi (2021), Kayla Holden (2022), and Morgan Ketchum (2023) are the three past winners of the event. Ketchum is back in the field this week to defend her 2023 title.

Laney Frye, a senior at Kentucky, has finished 2-T2-T2 in the last three additions of the championship and held the 36-hole lead in 2023. Frye led by five shots heading into the final round, but a final round 7-under 63 from Morgan Ketchum of Virginia Tech saw Frye lose by a devastating one-shot.

This will also be the first event played in the Women's Elite Amateur Series, launched in 2024.

“One of the big things that we want to achieve out of this is a better schedule. There are multiple elite women's events that are on top of each other on the calendar,” Priest said. “We want to try and help incentivize them to work this out to where those conflicts don't exist. That's the one thing that we would like to see on the men's side mirror on the women's side, so these elite events are not competing against each other.”

Just like the Men’s EAGS, there will be a series-long chase for an Elite Amateur Cup. To the victor will go the spoils, which will include USGA exemptions and other professional opportunities. The top finishers in the rankings will also receive professional exemptions. Those will be announced at a later date.

“Since day one, our goal has been to align the top competitive amateur events in the United States, not only for the men’s game but for the women’s game as well,” Andy Priest said in the official announcement back in January. "We are excited to play a leading role in elevating elite women’s golf by providing these athletes with an aligned summer schedule of competition at some of the most renowned venues in the country conducted by historic organizations and world-class resorts.”
