Women's Open: Round one and two tee times - BBC

What the report says

BBC News has published the opening tee times for the first two rounds of the 50th Women’s Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes. The first round is scheduled for Thursday, 30 July, with the second round on Friday, 31 July, and all listed times are in BST. The article focuses on several prominent groupings as the major begins in England.

England’s Charley Hull, still seeking a first major title after five runner-up finishes in the biggest events, is due to start her opening round at 13:26 alongside Canada’s Brooke Henderson and Australia’s Hannah Green. Her second round with the same group is listed for 08:42 on Friday. Fellow English player Lottie Woad is grouped with American Andrea Lee and Japan’s Akie Iwai, starting Thursday at 08:31 and Friday at 13:15.

World number one Nelly Korda is in one of the headline groups with New Zealand’s Lydia Ko and South Korea’s Ryu Haeran. They tee off at 08:42 on Thursday and 13:26 on Friday. BBC noted that Korda and Ryu have each won two majors in 2026, putting both in position to pursue a third major of the year. Korda is also chasing a career Grand Slam, needing either the Evian Championship or the Women’s Open to complete the LPGA-recognised set.

The tournament returns to Royal Lytham, where England’s Georgia Hall won the Women’s Open in 2018. Hall, recently back on tour after giving birth earlier this year, begins at 12:42 with 2019 champion Hinako Shibuno and amateur Vairana Delon.
