What's the most important tournament in women's golf, the equivalent of the men's Masters? I watch men's golf from time to time, but I don't follow women's golf at all.

Probably the British and US Open. Would have been the ANA Inspiration before it moved to Texas and became the Chevron Championship. That used to clearly be the women's equivalent to the Masters.

 

The Canadian Open and the Olympics are the biggest non-major events.

For the LA simulation I recommend using the year end world ranking, that’s the closest thing Golf has to a "world champion".

I also asked AI...here's what it said:

 

• ANA Inspiration (Chevron Championship) – First major of the year, held in California.

• U.S. Women’s Open – Organized by the USGA, it’s the oldest and arguably most prestigious major.

• KPMG Women’s PGA Championship – Known for tough courses and strong fields.

• The Amundi Evian Championship – Held in France, it’s the only major in continental Europe.

• AIG Women’s Open – Formerly the Women’s British Open, played on iconic UK courses.

In LPGA tour there are 5 major event

and US open gives biggest money share to winners.

If you do not want to use world ranking, I think US open makes sense
