U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles: Thursday tee times, TV/streaming info
The 77th U.S. Women’s Open tees off Thursday at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina, where a number of big storylines will soon unfold.

Annika Sorenstam won at Pine Needles in 1996 and returns to Southern Pines to compete in her first major championship in 13 years. She’ll be paired with fellow U.S. Women’s Open champ So Yeon Ryu, who also won at The Broadmoor, and up-and-coming Swede Ingrid Lindblad of LSU. They’re off at 8:50 a.m. ET on Thursday.
Last year’s champion, Yuka Saso, will begin her title defense at 8:32 a.m. ET with Jensen Castle, the 2021 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, and Anna Nordqvist, a three-time major winner.
Other marquee groups in the morning wave include Lydia Ko, Jessica Korda and Hannah Green at 9:05 a.m. ET, and Nasa Hataoka, Brooke Henderson and Minjee Lee at 8:28 a.m. ET.
In the afternoon, Nelly Korda returns to action after surgery for a blood clot sidelined her for several months. The world No. 2 will be off at 2:24 p.m. ET with Danielle Kang and rookie sensation Attahaya Thitikul.
Michelle Wie West, who said she plans to step away from the tour after this week, will compete for the first time since January alongside fellow U.S. Women’s Open champions Brittany Lang and Sung Hyun Park.
And finally, Rose Zhang, fresh off team and individual victories at the NCAA Championship for Stanford, tees off at 2:35 p.m. ET alongside Lucy Li and 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion Anna Davis.
The U.S. Golf Association received a record 1,874 entries this year. The field of 156 golfers will compete for the $1.8 million first-place prize.
The Donald Ross design first opened in 1928 and was owned by World Golf Hall of Famer Peggy Kirk Bell and her husband Bullet. The course this week measures 6,638 yards and will play as a par 71.
