In early 2021 a group involved in the Junior Section aspired to give Girls a development plan which would prepare them to play in National Championships and College golf. An application was made to have more than the traditional “Reds” rated for Women with an intention to provide a course of a testing championship length and gauge progress towards elite golf.
Later that year a composite course of 6,083 yards received a Women’s WHS rating and the working name of “The Tigress” would stick. In Spring ’22 the inaugural Tigress Trophy would take place featuring some of the best young players in the region.
Recognising the limited number of single weekend World Amateur Golf Ranking events for Elite Girls, the event expanded to gain WAGR status and has included many players who have gone on to gain scholarships to College golf and players who have gone on to represent England, Scotland and Ireland.
Northampton Golf Club are proud to host this event and look forward to welcoming many more talented players looking to gain experience or prepare themselves for National championships.
