The best players in the women's game have gathered at one of the most spectacular locations this sport can offer. Lake Geneva is the setting for The Amundi Evian Championship, which has been designated as a major since 2013, with drama almost always a guarantee.
12 months ago, it was Australia's Grace Kim who produced heroics to defeat Jeeno Thitikul - who was hoping to shed her tag of being the best player yet to claim one of the five majors - and secure the biggest title of her career to date.
It's been a year that has belonged to Nelly Korda, who won both the Chevron Championship and US Women's Open, before coming up a little shy on Sunday at the Women's PGA Championship just a fortnight ago. However, the American is clearly the big favourite, as evidenced by the odds available on Betfred.
But looking beyond the world number one, who else should you be watching this week at Evian?

Formerly the top ranked player on the planet, Thitikul had the tournament in her grasp last year before losing in extra holes, which was an agonising loss for someone yet to get her hands on a major title.
The Thai golfer loves this event - it's her favourite major - and a story of redemption here would be quite a tale for the gifted 23-year-old.
Sei Young Kim (25/1)
The highly experienced Korean - who won the Women's PGA in 2020 - has returned to form this season, posting a pair of top ten finishes in the most recent two major championships.
Although she has missed the cut in her last three appearances at Evian, her earlier record at this venue was outstanding, including a runner-up finish back in 2018.
Lottie Woad (25/1)
The English star's rise during the past 12 months has been meteoric and the highlight arguably came at Evian last year, while still an amateur, when she missed out on the playoff by just one shot.
Only 22, Woad won the Kroger Queen City Championship earlier this year and should have taken the Meijer LPGA Classic too. She is the world number four - England's top ranked golfer - for a reason.
Patty Tavatanakit (60/1)
A former major champion, Tavatanakit was runner-up at the Chevron earlier this year and finished in third at the Evian in 2024. Her form has gone a little cold in recent weeks, but the talented 26-year-old is always capable of a big run.
It feels like a second major victory is always a real possibility.
Grace Kim (90/1)
We have to mention the defending champion - who put together the most astonishing of finishes last year. Making eagle on the par 5 18th to force a playoff, the Aussie chipped-in for birdie to keep the contest going before making another eagle on the second playoff hole to win.
There is no doubt that she returns to Evian with some inspiring memories.
Lydia Ko (35/1)
Runner-up as an amateur in 2013, champion of 2015, both while still a teenager, for years, the Evian was Ko's playground, this was her place, but despite some quieter results in more recent years, there is no reason why the former world number one cannot recapture past glories.
The three-time major winner has four top ten finishes to her name on the LPGA Tour this season.
Celine Boutier (55/1)
The Frenchwoman thrilled the home galleries when she lifted the Evian title in 2023 - truly the fulfilment of a dream. Her major results have been uninspiring since, but winning the ShopRite LPGA Classic demonstrated that the Solheim Cup stalwart remains a contender at the highest level.
Don't be surprised to see le Tricolore flag feature on the leaderboard once again.
Brooke Henderson (60/1)
Winner in 2022 and runner-up in 2023, the Canadian loves it here, with a third place finish at the Women's PGA last month showcasing her abilities and proving that the 28-year-old has more than enough about her to secure a third major victory in what has been a fabulous career to date.
It's the wider environment that most draws attention at Evian, but the quality of the golf itself - and the drama - quite often matches this incredible stage.
