The fourth women’s major of the year is already here, but who are our betting tips for the glory at the Amundi Evian Championship?
So far, Nelly Korda has been victorious at the Chevron Championship, Yuka Saso won the US Women’s Open and Amy Yang ended her major drought with success at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
The Amundi Evian Championship is the fourth women’s major of the 2024 campaign, and will be held (as always) at the Evian Resort in France.
Players from both the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA Tour will be in action in France, aiming to get their hands on the trophy.
Home favourite Celine Boutier delighted the crowds last year as she became the first Frenchwoman to win a major championship in her home nation. Can she do it again this week?
Who will win? Matt Coles takes a look at some of his favourites for the second women’s major of the year…
Amundi Evian Championship golf betting tips and preview
Venue: Champions Course at Evian Resort, Evian-les-Bains, France
Date: July 11-14, 2024
Course stats: Par 72, 6,693 yards
Defending champion: Celine Boutier (-14)
Brooke Henderson @ 22/1 with bet365
That price for someone who has finished in the top two at this event in the last two years is ridiculous!
Brooke Henderson was the victor at the Amundi Evian Championship in 2022, securing her second major title. That win included a pair of 64s to start the week, and she never looked like being caught.
A year later, and aiming to defend her title, the Canadian would have possibly won again had it not been for the sheer brilliance of home favourite Celine Boutier.
Henderson also has six top ten finishes so far in 2024, including a T8 at the Dow Championship alongside Lexi Thompson in her last outing. The Canadian also has three top-threes, including a T3 result at the Chevron Championship. Could she do it again at another major? Henderson is 22/1 to do so.

Leona Maguire @ 33/1 with bet365
After securing her maiden victory on the Ladies European Tour, could Ireland’s Leona Maguire go back-to-back and win a first major championship?
Maguire already had two LPGA Tour victories prior to last week, but an eagle on the 54th hole at the Aramco Team Series – London, saw her catapult herself into the lead. It was one she held on to, winning by a single shot for her first LET victory.
She also holds the joint-record for the lowest round in a major, thanks to her 61 at the Evian Resort back in 2021. It is a place she enjoys playing at, and could it be the scene of the first female Irish major champion?
Alison Lee @ 60/1 with bet365
Alison Lee loves the Aramco Team Series. She proved that again last week in London with a T3 finish alongside Lauren Walsh and Georgia Hall. Can she bring that form into this week at the Amundi Evian Championship?
Her first appearance at the tournament yielded a T6 result, one that remains her best in a major. She has missed the cut at two of the three previous majors so far in 2024, but could this be the week that changes?
Lydia Ko @ 80/1 with bet365
Admittedly, it has not been the best of years for New Zealand’s Lydia Ko. After winning the Hilton Vacations Tournament of Champions on the LPGA Tour at the start of the year, the Kiwi’s results have gone somewhat downhill.
She only has two other top-five finishes, and they both came early on in the year. Ko also only has one top-20 finish in the majors so far in 2024, but the Kiwi knows how to get the job done on the biggest of stages.
Ko is a two-time major champion, including a victory at the Evian Championship back in 2015. At 80/1, I would argue that the former World No.1 is a good bet. If she is going to return to form anywhere, why not at a place that she has won a major before?
Morgane Metraux @ 250/1 each way with bet365
Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux is my outside bet this week, and again, it’s another European in red-hot form.
She was victorious at this very venue earlier this season, winning the Jabra Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour, her second win on the LET.
That booked her place in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, where she made the cut. Could the Swiss star cause a shock and make the placings? At 250/1 each way, why not chuck a few quid on Metraux this week?
