EVANS, Ga. (WJBF) – It’s Tuesday at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
The top women’s amateur golfers in the world will play their only practice round at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Evans before competition begins on Wednesday.
Megha Ganne of United States and Paula Martin Sampedro of Spain talk on the Tournament Practice Area prior to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur at Champions Retreat Golf Club, Monday, March 30, 2026.
“I think it’s the most exciting week in amateur golf, men’s or women’s, period, in my opinion,” said Megha Ganne, ranked No. 6 in the Amateur World Golf Ranking “I think everyone in golf knows about it. They might not know about certain other tournaments, but when this one’s happening, people tune in.
“It just draws so much attention in the best way, and these women carry themselves in such a great way. I’m really excited to see where the tournament goes although I don’t think it can get that much better than it is now.”
After Tuesday’s practice round, the first two rounds will take place at Champions Retreat on Wednesday and Thursday, after which the top 30 plus ties will advance to Saturday’s final round at Augusta National Golf Club. On Friday, the entire field will play a practice round there.
The first and second rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur will be broadcast live on Golf Channel (1:30-3:30 p.m. ET) from Champions Retreat Golf Club. NBC Sports will broadcast the final round beginning at noon on Saturday, April 4th at Augusta National.
