The Texas Women's Open is a golf tournament that originated in 1933 in the Fort Worth, Texas area. From 1950 to 1954, it was an LPGA Tour event.[1] The Women's Texas Open stopped in 1955, and was revived by the North Texas section of the PGA of America in 2001[2] in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex to promote interest in women's golf in the region. The 2020 event featured a stronger than normal field as several LPGA Tour players competed due to the hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
2020 Open
One of the strongest fields in the history of the Texas Women's Open occurred in 2020. Due to the Worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, many LPGA professionals, Olympians, and World-ranked Amateurs competed in the tournament hosted at the Golf Clubs at the Tribute's Old American Golf Course, located in The Colony, TX. 55 professionals and 64 amateurs competed in the 2020 Open.[4]
Notable players for that year included:
In 2025, The Northern Texas PGA announced a partnership with the ANNIKA Women's All Pro Tour in support of the 2025 and 2026 Destination Grapevine Texas Women's Open.[5]
