Whilst performing at St Andrews, Tom Grennan said: "This is one of my favourite places on earth, no word of a lie. I watched the AIG Womens Open and it was so good, and I can see everyone is out tonight for a good night. Make some noise for the female golfers for inspiring a nation and a generation."


This years AIG Womens Open has seen 144 players from 29 counties go head to head, with homegrown talent such as Charley Hull and Georgia Hall going up against last years champion Lilia Vu and and world number one Nelly Korda.


This years Championship featured a vibrant festival village with activities like golf lessons, lawn games, mini golf, shopping, bars, and food trucks. The Sessions Stage boasted a diverse lineup, including player showcases and a live DJ set by Scotlands own, Stephanie Cheape. This enhanced entertainment offering led to notable success, reflected in a 30% increase in the proportion of female ticket purchasers and nearly a 10% reduction in the average age of ticket buyers compared to last year.


The 2025 AIG Womens Open will take place on 30 July - 3 August at Royal Porthcawl in Wales, which showcases the worlds best female golfers competing in the most international line-up of the year.

Zoe Ridgway, Championship Director of the AIG Womens Open at The R&A, commented: "We are so pleased with last nights concert, Tom and Fleur both gave amazing performances and we are thankful to them both for coming to entertain everyone. The live music element of the Championship helps to broaden the appeal of the AIG Womens Open as well as boosting excitement for womens golf, and the talented players we have competing here."
