Evian Championship: Nelly Korda, Charley Hull, British hopes and how to watch women’s major live on Sky Sports
Watch the Evian Championship live on Thursday from 11am on Sky Sports; Ayaka Furue is defending champion and world No 1 Nelly Korda headlines women’s major in France; The last 12 women’s majors have been won by different players
The women’s major season continues this week with the Evian Championship, with Jeeno Thitikul having another opportunity to end Nelly Korda’s reign at the top of the world rankings. We take a look at some of the potential storylines to follow this week in France…
Can Korda end America’s mini major drought?
Nine of the last 10 major winners in the men’s game have been American, with Rory McIlroy’s Grand Slam success at The Masters the only exception, although the same level of success has not been matched in the women’s majors.
Korda’s Chevron Championship win last April is the most recent American women’s major champion, with the last seven majors producing different winners from outside of the United States – Minjee Lee, Maja Stark, Mao Saigo, Lydia Ko, Ayaka Furue, Amy Yang and Yuka Saso.
Will Hull push for maiden major title?
Charley Hull has been among the pre-tournament favourites heading into almost every major in recent seasons, with the Englishwoman looking to build on tied-12th finishes at the US Women’s Open and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
She was a two-time major runner-up in 2023 and has been largely consistent in the big events, posting top-25s in seven of the last nine majors, while Hull also has previously finished tied-third at this event.
Hull comes into the event having finished fourth at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open last week, as amateur Lottie Woad claimed her breakthrough Ladies European Tour win, with plenty of encouraging signs in her game heading into the summer.
Her last two appearances at the Evian Championship have ended in missed cuts, but Hull will be hopeful of challenging for an elusive maiden major and becoming the first English female major champion since Georgia Hall in 2018.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
