Lottie Woad has reached the Royal Porthcawl to tee up at the AIG Women's Open from July 31 to August 3. The ISPS Handa Scottish Open Champion will be making her second Open appearance this week in Wales. Woad recently turned professional by earning her LPGA Tour card following her performance at the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship. She had previously earned the Ladies European Tour (LET) card after winning the KPMG Women's Irish Open in July 2025.

Woad has been in the headlines for the past few months for her brilliant performance on the LET and LPGA Tour events. She won her first title as a professional at the Dundonald Links golf course last week in North Ayrshire, Scotland. She defeated top-ranked players such as Nelly Korda, Hyo-Joo Kim, Minjee Lee among others to seal the victory with a 21-under par 267.

The English golfer enters the final LPGA Major with a +600 odds of winning the title. In an interview with Sky Sports Golf, Lottie Woad reacted to being the fan favourite despite turning professional a fortnight ago. She said:

"I mean, yeah, I don't really take much notice of that, look at that. But you know, obviously playing well and but there's so many good players. So I don't can really feel like the favorite going into it."

Woad shared about her experience over the past three weeks, as she added:

"I don't think you can expect to to go on a run like that, you know, especially your first pro event, you can't. I mean, I could hope to win it, but, you know, you can't expect to win it, but just trying to keep the momentum going really is the plan."
