Held at the Evian Resort and Golf Club
6523 Yards Par 71
Haute-Savoie, France
Defending Champion is Celine Boutier
In the TH Last Year the Evian Champion was Hedge
This event has been held since 1994, where Helen Alfredson won the first of her three Evian Championships. Players have had mixed feelings about the event. Evian and the resort go all out to treat the Players and their Caddies very well . . . however the course itself isn’t as popular . . . many feel it has fundamental design flaws . . . Stacey Lewis declined to play for two years.
In 2013, the Evian was declared a fifth Major for the LPGA and LET tours. The 2012 Champion, Inbee Park gets a professional win while the 2013 Champion, Suzanne Peterson gets a Major.
FUN FACT: The winners check for Inbee for a tour win in 2012 . . . and for Suzanne for winning a Major in 2013 was . . . exactly the same.
