It’s time for the fourth women’s Major of the year as the Amundi Evian Championship takes centre stage at the start of a mini European run for the LPGA Tour.
But before the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open and AIG Women’s Open, players will stop off at the beautiful Evian Resort Golf Club in France to try and become the latest Major champion.
Each of the world’s top-10 are on site this week, but it is World No.1, Nelly Korda and World No.2, Jeeno Thitikul who share the tag of favorites before a tee shot is struck.
Several of their top-10 rivals are not far behind, though, with Minjee Lee, Ruoning Yin and Hye-jin Choi joining defending champion, Ayaka Furue as some of the other leading challengers.
Below, we have listed all of the outright-winner odds for many of the biggest names in the game as well as our favorite and sleeper picks for the 2025 Amundi Evian Championship.

Amundi Evian Championship Course Guide: Evian Resort Golf Club
Evian Resort Golf Club has been the home of the Evian Championship since undergoing an $8 million restoration between 2012 and 2013, which was headed up by architect Steve Smyers and European Golf Design.
The Champions Course itself plays a 6,500-yard par 71 which has offered plenty of low scoring to the professionals doing battle on it since 2013. The lowest tournament score so far has been 21-under-par (In-gee Chun in 2016) while the lowest individual total at the Evian Championship is 61, all recorded by Leona Maguire, Lee Jeong-eun, and Kim Hyo-joo.
Located in the mountains of south-east France in a place called Evian-les-Bains, the area in which Evian Resort sits is incredibly beautiful and overlooks Lake Geneva on the Swiss-French border.
Due to its position in the mountains, there is the elevation for players to consider when hitting shots. It is reportedly around 1,575 feet (480m) above sea level. There are also a handful of holes with lakes to navigate plus many large and subtly undulating greens at the end of many tree-lined fairways.
