From July 23 to 26, 2025, the Frankfurt Golf Club will host the 38th European Ladies' Amateur Championship. Over 140 top female golfers from 32 nations will compete for the prestigious title in four rounds of counting play - including numerous top international talents as well as two local heroes from the host club.
The tournament is one of the most important events in the international amateur calendar and is organized by the European Golf Association (EGA). Once started as a purely European championship, the tournament is now open to talents from all over the world and is therefore more high-class than ever.
Particularly in focus: Andrea Revuelta (Spain) and Meja Örtengren (Sweden) - silver and bronze medal winners from 2024 and both currently in the top 12 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Paula Schulz-Hanßen (2020 European Championship winner) and Savannah de Bock (2022 winner) will also be competing. Frankfurt GC has two irons in the fire as host. Constanze Keferstein and Johanna Kirch are playing in the German Golf League presented by All4Golf for Frankfurter GC in the 1st Bundesliga. The two players want to use their home advantage to save one or two strokes compared to the European elite and perhaps fight for a top place with an outside chance. Other German European Championship starters have also proven their potential in the past - including Junior Team Germany player Sophie Renner from Stuttgart's GC Solitude, who won the Scottish Girls' Open Championship this year, and her teammate in the Junior Team, Chiara Horder, who plays for GC St. Leon-Rot and celebrated her biggest win to date with her victory at the Women's Amateur Championship in 2023.
The list of winners from previous years reads almost like a who's who in women's professional golf. Numerous players who once won precious metal at a European Championship are a permanent fixture on the major Tours, have won majors, played for their continent in the Solheim Cup and even won Olympic medals. This absolute elite includes Sophia Popov, who became European champion in 2010 with a three-stroke lead and ten years later became the first and so far only German to win a major, the Women's British Open. Esther Henseleit is also one of the big names. The Falkenstein native won silver at the European Championships in 2018 and created a monument to herself on the biggest possible stage in sport, the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, when she again won the silver medal.
Admission for spectators is free.
