Championship History

The USGA Senior Women's Amateur was inaugurated in 1962 in response to creating a tournament that would determine a national champion. The inaugural tournament was held at Manufacturers' Golf and Country Club in Oreland, Pa. where spectators witnessed a stroke-play showdown between two longtime rivals. After 35 years of stroke-play format, the 1997 championship became the first Senior Women's Amateur to be conducted at match play. It was the last of the 10 national amateur championships to adopt a match-play format.
