The 111th Southwestern Amateur, June 10-13, 2026
The 2026 Southwestern Amateur Championship will be held June 10-13 at the Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The tournament returns to the Outlaw course in 2026, a rolling, high-desert layout which will host the championship for the fourth time.
This is the 111th year for the Menβs Championship and the sixth year for the Womenβs Championship, which has quickly gained elevated status as an inaugural member of the Women’s Elite Amateur Golf Series. The SWGA Selection Committee selects 72 Men and 72 Women to compete based upon playing record and rankings.
The event is a 72-hole stroke play competition, with a cut to the low 36 players and ties in each division after 36 holes.
Grewal, Chaisilprungruang close strong to win 110th Southwestern Amateur titles
Womenβs Championship: Pimchompoo “Pinky” Chaisilprungruang of Thailand shot her third-straight sub-70 round to finish two shots ahead of 16-year-old Kaili Xiao of China. Chaisilprungruang kept her lead the entire round and cemented the win with two birdies on a key stretch on the back nine.
Menβs Championship: Hartej Grewal (Pleasanton, Calif.), who is transferring to the University of Kansas this fall, also entered the day with a one-shot lead and never gave his chasers an opening. His second-shot on the par-5 16th hole was the highlight of the day and gave him a two-shot win over Matthew Javier of Canada.
