2024 Augusta National Women's Amateur: Field, TV listings, Viewer's Guide

Augusta National is all about its traditions, and one that has quickly but firmly taken root is the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. The 2024 edition will be the fifth playing of the event, which has become an entertaining lead-in (along with the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals) to the Masters Tournament.

Once again, 72 of the best female amateurs in the world—23 of the top 25 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking and 46 of the top 50—will be competing for the title. While the ANWA has a short history, its alumni have already gone on to impressive accomplishments. Players who have participated in the event—including 2016 champion Jennifer Kupcho and last year’s winner Rose Zhang—have won a collective 39 titles on the LPGA and Ladies European Tour.

The unique format for the 54-hole event continues in 2024. The first and second rounds will be played at Champions Retreat on Wednesday and Thursday, the Island and Bluff nines their own demanding challenge. The top 30 players and ties then advance to compete at Augusta National during Saturday's final round, but not before the entire field gets to play a practice round on the famed course when the tournament pauses for a day on Friday.

TV SCHEDULE

A year ago, Golf Channel and Peacock broadcast the opening two rounds at Champions Retreat for the first time since the event's inception in 2019. That will be the case again in 2024, as the first and second round will be shown from 1:30-3:30 p.m. EDT on Wednesday and Thursday. NBC picks up Saturday’s final round coverage from Augusta National from 12 noon-3:30 p.m. EDT. The broadcast will also be streaming on Peacock and the NBC Sports app.
