Since its first edition 30 years ago, The Amundi Evian Championship has grown exponentially to become not only an unmissable date on the golfing calendar, it is also the only Major tournament to be played in continental Europe. Over time, the event has become a meeting point for the greatest women golfers in the world, pitted against each other in memorable duels that are etched into the discipline's glorious history. Rolex Testimonees have excelled at the tournament, with victories from Annika Sörenstam (2000, 2002), Suzann Pettersen (2013), Lydia Ko (2015), Anna Nordqvist (2017) and Brooke Henderson (2022).
The Amundi Evian Championship is contested annually on The Champions Course at Évian-les-Bains. The layout, which was completely redesigned in the late 1980s by architect Cabell B. Robinson, presents a number of difficulties that severely test the golfers' skills. Situated between lake and mountain, the course offers a breathtaking panorama, where the beauty of the surroundings is matched by the demanding nature of the course and the precision required for each shot. "Playing Evian" has become a common expression, such is the enormity of the challenge.

Partner and Official Timekeeper of The Amundi Evian Championship since 2000, Rolex is associated with all the women's Majors - The Chevron Championship, the U.S. Women's Open, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, the AIG Women's Open - as well as the discipline's main tours, namely the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour and the LET (Ladies European Tour). The brand also partners with the ANWA (Augusta National Women's Amateur), the biggest tournament on the women's amateur golf circuit. Through a series of awards, notably the Rolex Player of the Year, Rolex ANNIKA Major Award, Rolex Junior Player of the Year, and Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year, the Swiss watchmaker promotes and celebrates the excellence of a women's sport in perpetual evolution.
Golf is more than a sport. It embodies values that make it an experience unlike any other. Precision, integrity, humility and respect. These are qualities also deeply rooted in Rolex's identity. It is for this reason that, for almost 60 years, Rolex has supported golf. This long-standing commitment was initiated in 1967 with legendary champion Arnold Palmer, who was joined by Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, known as The Big Three. It now extends to the leading institutions and events as well as the sport's top players and younger talent.
This year's Evian competition was especially exciting. At the end, Japan's Ayaka Furue edged by a very competitive field, finishing at 19 under par. Literally, the following finishers each finished up with one +1 under-par score a piece. Her win at Evian now puts Furue in the lead position for the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award mentioned above, which will be announced at the end of the season in November.
