Women’s Western Golf Association
The WWGA continues to advance the enthusiasm of its players to the game through its two national championships held annually: the Amateur and Junior tournaments; Low Net Pin Event at the Member Club level; and the Foundation with College Scholarship Program.
Quality and competency will continue to be the primary goals for the WWGA and WWGF.
“OUR MISSION: Fostering national competitions for women since 1901, the WWGA is committed to promoting sportsmanship and skill in the game of golf through its annual Amateur and Junior amateur tournaments, and education through the Women’s Western Golf Foundation.”
A Message from our WWGA President
Dear Friends of the WWGA,
As President of WWGA, it is my honor on behalf of the Board of Directors to welcome you to the WWGA’s website.
We hope you will explore the information provided about our great Association including our history, Women’s Western Junior and Amateur Championships, and past tournament results. Also, please explore the information on the Women’s Western Golf Foundation.
The Women’s Western boasts a proud tradition of attracting the finest amateurs in women’s golf, both nationally and internationally. These women represent all that is great in our sport. Many of these players have gone on to succeed in the LPGA as well.
We are already looking forward to our two 2026 national championships. The 99th Women’s Western Junior will be played in June at Meridian Hills Country Club (in Indianapolis) and River Forest Country Club (in Elmhurst, Illinois) will host the 126th Women’s Western Amateur in July.
Our board is extremely grateful to the clubs who host our championships each year. They, along with the many supporters of WWGA, allow us to provide quality playing opportunities and recognition for the best amateurs in women’s golf.
We look forward to continuing to build on this legacy in the coming years.
Please feel free to contact me with questions.
Sincerely,
Susan Buchanan
