Women's golf has evolved a set of major championships which parallels that in men's golf, but the women's system is younger and has been less stable than the men's.

Golf is a game where individual players or teams hit a ball into a hole using various clubs, and is one of the few ball games that does not use a fixed standard playing area. ... Stroke play is a scoring system for golf (compare to match play). ...

Ladies European Tour

In men's golf, the four majors are all co-sanctioned by the U.S. based PGA Tour and the PGA European Tour, but this is not the case in women's golf. The Ladies European Tour does not sanction any of the LPGA majors which are played in the United States, and only has two events which it designates as majors on its schedule, namely the Women's British Open and the Evian Masters, which is played in France. Thus, unlike men's golf, women's golf does not have a single globally agreed set of majors. The significance of this is limited as the LPGA Tour is much more dominant in women's golf than the PGA Tour is in men's golf. For example the BBC has been known to use the LPGA definition of women's majors without qualifying it.
