Women's majors

Women's golf has evolved a set of major championships which parallels that in men's golf, but the women's system is younger and has been less stable that the men's. Most professional strokeplay events for women are played over three rounds (54 holes), but the majors are played over four rounds (72 holes), which is the standard length of regular men's tournaments. This is the same distinction as for senior men's tournaments.

Women's senior golf

Professional women's senior golf is in its infancy, and does not yet have a roster of majors. The Women's Senior Golf Tour played its first season in 2001.
