The AIG Women’s Open represents our unwavering commitment to creating new opportunities for the world’s best professional women golfers.
Since becoming the Championship’s title sponsor in 2019, AIG has partnered with the R&A to raise the profile of the game and its players, tripling the prize money, securing iconic venues and elevating the player experience. In 2024, our efforts to transform the AIG Women’s Open into the leading Major in women’s golf were recognized with the LPGA’s Gold Drive Award for Best Player Experience.
The players who will participate in this year’s Championship exemplify the sport’s most exceptional talent and we are proud to continue to celebrate their victories as they set a new standard for excellence on and off the course.

AIG Chairman & CEO Peter Zaffino and AIG Global Ambassador Georgia Hall share actions they have taken to prepare to lead and inspire the next generation of talent from their respective fields.
