The Evian Championship is the newest addition to the women's golf major schedule. This is only the third year the tournament has been considered a major, and it couldn't be played in a much better window.
As the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs take an idle week, the biggest stars from the LPGA and overseas will tee it up at Evian Resort Golf Club in Evian-les-Bains, France, beginning on Thursday.
Hyo Joo Kim is the defending champion, as she held off veteran Karie Webb down the stretch in 2014 to win by a single stroke. Kim is only 20 years old and has proven that wasn't a fluke, sitting in ninth position in the Race to the CME Globe points standings.
