It was the second Women's British Open at Carnoustie, following the course's event debut in 2011, which was won by Taiwanese golfer Yani Tseng. The R&A also allowed the return of spectators,[3] after the 2020 Women's British Open was played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[4]
