The Women's Open 2022

Iain Carter is joined by Emma Ballard from Women and Golf ahead of an historic AIG Women’s Open to be held at Muirfield.

It’s as the club holds its first ever women’s event since it abolished its controversial men-only members rule in 2017.

The 2018 Women’s Open champion Georgia Hall joins the pod to talk about what it means to her to play at Muirfield and how she thinks more progress can be made for women’s golf.

The R&A chief exec Martin Slumbers tells us about the rise in the prize purse for the Women’s Open and how equal prize money with The Open has to be the goal for the sport.

You’ll also hear about what is being done to get more women into golf, how Muirfield has changed as a club in the past five years and why it’s a challenge to get more female golf fans to follow the women’s tour.
