AIG Women's Open Preview & Picks
Muirfield will host the Women's Open for the first time in its history, with a stellar lineup of the world's elite women's golfers contesting the final Major tournament of the year. Who will claim the championship come Sunday?

Anna Nordqvist returns to defend her crown after victory in 2021. 

World number one Jin Young Ko, KPMG Women's PGA Championship winner In Gee Chun, Amundi Evian Championship winner Brooke Henderson, US Women's Open winner Minjee Lee and Chevron Championship winner Jennifer Kupcho are in the field. 

Eleven previous Women's Open champions who will tee on Thursday include Anna Nordqvist, Sophia Popov, Hinako Shibuno, Georgia Hall, In-Kyung Kim, Ariya Jutanugarn, Inbee Park, Mo Martin, Stacy Lewis, Catriona Matthew and Laura Davies.

These are our selections that could win the title. 

Nelly Korda


Nelly Korda had a solid beginning to her year when she placed T4 at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, T20 at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio and T15 at the LPGA Drive On Championship at Crown Colony.

In March, Korda was diagnosed with a blood clot in her arm, and she underwent surgery in April to have it removed and returned to greens with an impressive T8 at the U.S. Women's Open at the end of May.

The 24-year-old American followed up with an excellent T2 place at the Meijer LPGA Classic.

The number three ranked golfer's form dipped at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, finishing T30, but she rebounded at the Amundi Evian Championship, placing T8.

Korda has yet to secure a title in 2022 but has every chance to win at Muirfield this weekend after her recent results.

Lexi Thompson


Lexi Thompson produced excellent results at the start of her year, placing T6 at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, runner-up at the LPGA Drive On Championship at Crown Colony, and T38 at the JTBC Classic Presented by Barbasol and T4 at the Chevron Championship.

The number seven ranked golfer's subsequent four tournaments were equally as impressive, finishing T13 at the Palos Verdes Championship presented by Bank of America, runner-up at the Cognizant Founders Cup, T20 at the U.S. Women's Open and T5 at the Meijer LPGA Classic.

The 27-year-old American led in the final round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, but she made four bogeys in the last seven holes, costing her the Major title as she placed T2 overall.

Thompson has had three runner-up places in her last nine events and will be our to redeem herself after her slip at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. 

Atthaya Thitikul


Atthaya Thitikul has played all her golf on the LPGA Tour in 2022, achieving excellent results, including a victory.

Thitikul finished T45 at the Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, T11 at the LPGA Drive On Championship at Crown Colony, T4 at the HSBC Women's World Championship and T8 at the Honda LPGA Thailand.

The 19-year-old secured her maiden LPGA Tour tournament at the JTBC Classic Presented by Barbasol, which saw her break into the top ten in the world rankings.

The world number five ranked golfer's following seven results were T17 at the Chevron Championship, T6 at the Lotte Championship, T48 at the Dio Implant LA Open, T13 at the Palos Verdes Championship, T8 at the Cognizant Founders Cup, and T35 at the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play and T24 at the U.S. Women's Open.

The Thai golfer has shown that she is back to her best in her last three tournaments, placing T5 at the Meijer LPGA Classic, 4th at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and T8 at the Amundi Evian Championship.

Thitikul is holding form and will fancy her chances she can win the first Major title of her career a the Women's Open in Scotland. 

Linn Grant


Linn Grant has been outstanding on the Ladies European Tour this year, with multiple victories, including being the first female to win on the DP World Tour.

Grant started her 2022 with an impressive five-stroke victory at the Joburg Ladies Open in March.

The Swede maintained her form, placing T7 at the Investec South African Women's Open, 7th at the Comunidad de Madrid Ladies Open and T13 at the Jabra Ladies Open.

The 23-year-old won her second tournament at the Mithra Belgian Ladies Open and her third at the Scandinavian Mixed, a co-sanctioned Ladies European Tour and DP World Tour tournament.

Grant has not slowed in her performance since that victory, finishing 3rd at the Aramco Team Series London, T4 at the Amundi German Masters and T8 at the Amundi Evian Championship.

Grant has been ultra-consistent, with three victories to her credit and offers excellent value at the 2022 Women's Open.

Verdict

Korda is in great touch and has shown signs that she can win again.

Thompson has been close to winning multiple times and could make the frame at Muirfield.

Thitkul is in top form and looks ready to win her second title for the year.

Grant has the current game to cause an upset and is the long-shot value bet for the weekend.
