2026 Augusta National Women's Amateur: Field, TV listings, Viewer's Guide

The Augusta National Women’s Amateur has been around long enough that most every one of the 72 players in the field doesn’t remember a time when the event didn’t exist.

The vision of Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley to establish a tournament “to inspire interest and participation in women’s golf and create a new pathway for elite players to fulfill their dreams” has been successful realized. So much so, that 48 of the top 50 players in the most recent edition of the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking are teeing it up this week.

The unique format for the 54-hole event continues in 2026. The first and second rounds (April 2-3) will be played at Champions Retreat on Wednesday and Thursday, the Island and Bluff nines presenting their own demanding challenge. The top 30 players and ties then advance to compete at Augusta National during Saturday's final round (April 5), 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

For a fourth straight year, Golf Channel and Peacock are broadcasting the opening two rounds at Champions Retreat. Coverage will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday from 1:30-3:30 p.m. EDT. NBC picks up Saturday’s final round coverage from Augusta National from 12 noon-3 p.m. EDT. The broadcast will also be streaming on Peacock and the NBC Sports app.
