Dates announced

The R&A today confirmed the dates for the AIG Women’s Open in 2028.

The Championship is being moved back for that year alone to avoid clashing with the golf competitions for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles which are being played from 19-29 July.

The AIG Women’s Open will be held from 14-20 August 2028.

Mark Darbon, chief executive of The R&A, said: “We have worked collaboratively with the relevant bodies and our partners to agree alternative dates for staging our major championships in 2028 to accommodate the Olympic golf competitions.

“We appreciate the constructive discussions we have had with all of the stakeholders and believe that providing clarity on the dates now will assist with the planning of the global golf calendar in 2028.”

The venue for the 2028 AIG Women’s Open will be confirmed in due course.
