Beginning in 2008 the location of the tournament has rotated throughout the country.^[3] In 2013, the six highest-ranked players in the world, and seven of the top ten competed in Portland, Oregon.^[4] The 2014 tournament brought in 98 competitors from 21 states.^[5] In 2019, Kristin Tattar out dueled the world #1 ranked Paige Pierce to win her first major and to become the first European player to win the USWDGC.^[6] The 2020 USWDGC which was scheduled to take place across three courses in Northern California was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[7] In 2021, Paige Pierce became the first 4-time winner when she won by 13 strokes.^[8] The 2023 USWDGC was won by Kristin Tattar.
