Amundi Evian Championship Leaderboard: Follow the action live
The course in Evian-les-Bains is treacherous: sloping lies, fast greens, and the dramatic finish on the 18th hole regularly lead to last-minute shifts on the leaderboard. Nevertheless, the Par-71 course offers plenty of Birdie opportunities. Scores of ten under Par and even lower are not uncommon for past winners. Of course, external conditions also play a role in whether the fourth of the five major tournaments in women’s golf allows for low scores or not.

2025 Recap: Grace Kim’s Nerve-Wracking Playoff Victory
The year 2025 featured one of the most thrilling finals in the tournament’s history. Australia’s Grace Kim secured her first major title in a dramatic playoff against Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul. After Kim made a spectacular Eagle on the 72nd hole to force the playoff, she prevailed on the second extra hole. She thus continued the streak of first-time winners at Evian, following in the footsteps of Ayaka Furue (2024) and local favorite Celine Boutier (2023).
The Course: A Gem Since 1904
The Evian Resort Golf Club is truly one of a kind. Nestled between the peaks of the Alps and the deep-blue waters of Lake Geneva, the course demands tactical discipline from the players. The undulating topography means that hardly any ball is played from a flat surface—a challenge that adds excitement, especially during the early-morning tee times at the Amundi Evian Championship.
Favorites: Who Will Triumph in 2026?
In addition to defending champion Grace Kim, two names in particular are in the spotlight:
- Celine Boutier: The Frenchwoman is frenetically celebrated by her compatriots and knows every blade of grass in Evian.
- Lottie Woad: The former No. 1 amateur caused a sensation in 2025 when she nearly made golf history as the runner-up. She’ll be competing as a pro in 2026.
- Minjee Lee: The 2021 champion is almost always among the top finishers in Evian.
