- Ladies' major amateur golf championships
There are a number of Ladies' major amateur golf championships held worldwide with the first originating in Great Britain in 1893. For more than half a century there was little in the way of professional golf tournaments for women and as such competitors of the national amateur championships represented the best female players in their country. During the early part of the 20th century, the top American, Canadian, French, and British women golfers began competing in each other's tournament.
Some of the Ladies' major amateur golf championships include the:
* Australian Women's Amateur Golf Championship
