The 2017 U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship will be the 72nd U.S. Women's Open, held July 13–16 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The U.S. Women's Open is the oldest of the five current major championships and the third of the 2017 season. It has the largest purse in women's golf, at $5 million in 2017. The tournament will be televised by Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports.
The championship is open to any female professional or amateur golfer with a USGA handicap index not exceeding 2.4. Players qualify by competing in one of twenty 36-hole qualifying tournaments held at sites across the United States and at international sites in China, England, Japan, and South Korea. Additional players were exempt from qualifying because of past performances in professional or amateur tournaments around the world.
Many players are exempt in multiple categories. Players are listed only once, in the first category in which they became exempt, with additional categories in parentheses () next to their names. Golfers qualifying in Category 14 who qualified in other categories are denoted with the tour by which they qualified.
