- Evian Masters
The Evian Masters is a women's professional
golf tournament which is played inÉvian-les-Bains ,France each July.Founded in
1994 , it is recognised as a major by theLadies European Tour . It is not classified as a major by theLPGA Tour , but it has been part of the LPGA Tour's schedule since 2000. It is played the week before theWomen's British Open , which is a major on both tours, which makes it convenient for U.S. based players to participate.Prior to 2007, the event included 78 players, about half the size of a full-field LPGA Tour event, and was held over four days without a cut, meaning all players played all four days regardless of their scores. Beginning in 2007, the field was expanded to 90 players and a cut added after the second round.
