U.S. Women's Open Championship (golf)

The U.S. Women's Open Golf Championship is one of the LPGA's major championships along with the LPGA Championship, the Women's British Open, and the Kraft Nabisco Championship. It is the only event to have been recognized as a major by the LPGA since its founding in 1950; the other current majors were not founded until later.

Unlike its men's counterpart, the U.S. Women's Open is not globally recognized as a major championship. The Ladies European Tour does not sanction any of the three majors held in the United States. However the significance of this is limited as the LPGA Tour is more dominant in women's golf than the PGA Tour is in men's golf.
