Tournament Overview

The 2024 Women’s PGA Cup was held from Thursday, October 3, to Saturday, October 5, at the picturesque Meadows course at Sunriver Resort, Oregon. The 54-hole event brought together six national teams, each comprised of five players. In each round, the three lowest scores from each team were counted toward the team aggregate, making every performance crucial to the final outcome.

Their nearest competitors, Canada, completed the tournament at 2-under par, while Australia took third place with a score of 14-over. South Africa found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard with a challenging 62-over par aggregate.
