The final field of the 120 players of the Evian Championship 2015 is final at the end of the Helsingborg Open (LET), the last tournament taken into account for the selection and won by the Danish Nicole Broch Larsen.

All the best players in the world will therefore be gathered at the Evian Resort Golf Club, from September 10 to 13, to compete in the last Major of the season. The Top 10 worldwide is complete, led by the South Korean Inbee Park. A big favorite after her two Major victories this year (KPMG Women's PGA Championship and Ricoh Women's British Open), the world No.1 sets out to conquer a historic record by trying to achieve a Super Career Grand Slam, namely, winning each of the Majors over their entire career. To date, the Evian Championship is the only thing missing from the Inbee Park list.

Among this particularly high field, the 2014 champion, the South Korean Hyo-Joo Kim, will have a lot to do to keep her title. Especially since all the players selected for the Solheim Cup, the following week in Germany, will be present at the Evian Resort Golf Club, determined to embark on a first round of intimidation.

We must also count on the ambition of the new generation who has been trying to take power on the world tour for several months now, like Lydia Ko (18 years old, Nzl), Brooke Henderson (17 years old, Can) or again In Gee Chun (20 years old, Kor). A real dynamic which echoes the policy of the tournament management: to reveal and support the emergence of the great talents of today and especially of tomorrow. To go in this direction, the international amateur elite will be particularly well represented with the four wild cards, aged 16 to 20, the Irish Leona Maguire (N ° 1 world amateur), the Swiss Albane Valenzuela and the French Mathilda Cappeliez and Agathe Laisné; but also with the French Céline Boutier, winner this summer of the British Open amateur, or the American Hannah O'Sullivan, champion of the US Open amateur.

6 French women enter the field this year: the 3 amateurs: Mathilda Cappeliez, Agathe Laisné, Céline Boutier, Karine Icher, French N ° 1, Gwladys Nocera, (both selected from the European Solheim Cup team) and Joanna Klatten .
