The
United States Senior Women's Amateur Golf Championship
was launched in 1962 as an annual tournament for female amateur
golfing
competitors at least 50 years of age. The format began as a 54-hole
stroke play
competition over three days until 1997 when it was changed to a
match play
event. Sectional qualifying was first implemented for the 2000 championship.
The U.S. Senior Women's Amateur operates through the auspices of the
United States Golf Association
.
In 1977
Dorothy Germain Porter
became the first
U.S. Women's Amateur
champion to win the Seniors' title.
Starting in 2018, the reigning champion and runner-up, and the preceding year's champion, will be eligible to participate in the
U.S. Senior Women's Open
.
