THE largest female sporting event ever to be hosted in Wales will happen later this month.
From July 30 to August 3, the AIG Women’s Open will take place at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Rest Bay, meaning the world’s best golfers will descend on the famous coastal course for the final major of the year.
The stunning course has hosted several top-level golfing events in the past, including the Amateur Championship seven times, the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup and the Senior Open.
The week before the tournament, on July 28, Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club in Bridgend will host the final qualifying.
After 18 holes, a minimum of three golfers will earn their place in the major.
Royal Porthcawl Golf Club is a famously stunning course with sea views from every hole.
