It's time for one of the oldest events in amateur golf.

The 2024 U.S. Women's Amateur is set to begin Monday at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The field of 156 golfers will battle it out over seven days, in what's expected to be a hot one with forecasted temps hovering around 100 each day, to win the Robert Cox Trophy.

This will be the 10th USGA championship to be contested at Southern Hills and the first since a recent Gil hanse renovation before the 2022 PGA Championship, which Justin Thomas won. The last USGA event was in 2009, when Byeong Hun An won the U.S. Amateur.

Last year, Megan Schofill outlasted Latanna Stone 4 and 3 to win at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles, California.

Here's everything you need to know for the 2024 U.S. Women's Amateur.
