When it comes to U.S. Women’s Open venues, there haven’t been many repeat visits in recent years. Since 1995, the only sites that have hosted multiple championships include Pine Needles (1996, 2001, 2007, 2021), Pumpkin Ridge, (1997, 2003), The Broadmoor (1995, 2011), Blackwolf Run (1998, 2012) and now Lancaster Country Club (2015, 2024).
The 2024 U.S. Women’s Open field will be finalized after the May 27 Rolex Rankings have been released but as of now, 34 players in next week’s field also teed it up in the 2015 USWO at Lancaster, including 10 of the top 20 players in the Rolex Rankings.
When the championship returned to Pine Needles in 2021, only nine players in the field had played in 2007. Similarly at Blackwolf Run in 2012, only nine players in the field had also played in 1998. Both events were held 14 years apart.
Here’s a closer look at how today’s big names fared in 2015 (with current Rolex Ranking):
