For Australian golf fans, it means another week of late nights and early mornings – but also a strong local contingent worth following.
How to watch the U.S. Women’s Open in Australia
Kayo Sports and FoxSports have the full coverage this week, and because the tournament is played in California (PDT), the main broadcast windows fall in the early morning in Australia:
- Round 1 (Friday AEST): 4:00am – 12:00pm
- Round 2 (Saturday AEST): 4:00am – 12:00pm
- Round 3 (Sunday AEST): 7:00am – 12:00pm
- Final Round (Monday AEST): 7:00am – 12:00am
Exact start times will shift slightly depending on the broadcast window: set the alarm, or have Kayo ready for the replay.
The Australians in the field
There are six Australians teeing it up at Riviera this week, a mix of major champions, established LPGA names and emerging talent.
Hannah Green
The headline act for Australia, Hannah Green arrives in outstanding form. A multiple-time LPGA winner in 2026 and already a major champion, the West Australian sits among the world’s top-ranked players and has a history of success in Los Angeles, including multiple wins at Riviera’s neighbouring LPGA event. She looms as Australia’s best chance to contend deep into the weekend.
Minjee Lee
A former U.S. Women’s Open champion (2022), Minjee Lee needs no introduction. When her ball-striking is on, she’s still one of the most dangerous major performers in the game, and Riviera’s demanding layout should suit her strengths.
Grace Kim
The rising Sydneysider enjoyed a breakthrough 2025 season that included a major title, and arrives with growing confidence. This week presents another opportunity to prove she belongs among the elite.
Stephanie Kyriacou
Making her third U.S. Women’s Open appearance, Kyriacou continues to build consistency on the LPGA Tour. Still chasing a true major breakthrough, she’s the kind of steady performer who can climb a leaderboard if conditions get tough.
Karis Davidson
One of two Aussies to come through qualifying, Davidson earned her spot as an alternate from Seattle qualifying and will make her U.S. Women’s Open debut. It’s a huge opportunity on the biggest stage in women’s golf.
Sarah Hammett (a)
The 19-year-old amateur is another great story, having medalled at qualifying in Arizona to book her first major start. Still early in her career, simply making the field is a significant achievement.
