The women’s major season reaches its climax this week at the AIG Women’s Open, with extended coverage from Royal Lytham and St Annes exclusively live on Sky Sports.

Miyu Yamashita returns as defending champion after last year’s breakthrough major win at Royal Porthcawl, with the Japanese star now looking to become the first back-to-back winner of the AIG Women’s Open since Yanni Tseng in 2011.

She has already won the Chevron Championship and the US Women’s Open, while a win would secure her place in the LPGA’s Hall of Fame and complete the career Grand Slam.
