The course in Evian-les-Bains is treacherous: sloping lies, fast greens and the dramatic finish on hole 18 regularly cause last-second leaderboard shifts. Nevertheless, the Par 71 course offers plenty of Birdie opportunities. Scores of ten under Par and even lower are not uncommon for the winners of recent years. Of course, the external conditions also play a part in whether the fourth of the five major tournaments in women's golf allows low scores or not.

The year 2025 provided one of the most exciting finals in tournament history. Australian Grace Kim secured her first major title in a dramatic playoff against Thailand's Jeeno Thitikul. After Kim managed a spectacular Eagle on the 72nd hole to force the play-off in the first place, she retained the upper hand on the second extra hole. She thus continued the series of first-time winners in Evian, after Ayaka Furue (2024) and local hero Celine Boutier (2023) had previously triumphed.
