For the 2025 edition\, golf courses and facilities are encouraged to register early to take advantage of the many year-round benefits of having a registered location page\, as well as hosting a WGD event.  \nElisa Gaudet\, founder of Women’s Golf Day\, said: “WGD is a collaborative effort. Without the support of locations\, brands\, golf management companies\, retailers and governing bodies we would not have been able to engage\, empower and support as many girls and women as we have. In ten years\, a lot has changed\, but our four-hour experience continues to be successful and relevant\, no matter where in the world.

Taking place in 2025 from 19 May to 8 June\, it is renowned for its gruelling matches\, unique playing surface\, and storied history.  \nFounded in 1891\, the French Open has produced some of the sport’s most legendary moments and champions. Rafael Nadal\, often referred to as the “King of Clay”\, holds the record for the most men’s singles titles at Roland Garros\, having won the tournament an astonishing 14 times. Nadal’s dominance at the French Open has become one of tennis’s most iconic storylines\, as the slow clay surface perfectly complements his physical and grinding style of play. On the women’s side\, players like Chris Evert and Justine Henin have enjoyed similar success on the red clay.  \nThe tournament’s most famous court\, Court Philippe-Chatrier\, has undergone modern renovations\, including the addition of a retractable roof\, allowing play to continue during rain\, a frequent occurrence in Paris. The clay surface presents unique challenges\, as it slows down the ball and creates higher bounces\, favouring baseline players who excel at topspin shots. Sliding on the clay is also an essential skill\, making movement and endurance key aspects of the game.  \nThe French Open is also unique for its cultural charm\, with a distinct Parisian flair that blends sport and elegance. Fans are treated to world-class tennis while enjoying the beauty of Paris in late spring\, creating a quintessentially French experience that attracts millions of viewers and visitors every year. For players and fans alike\, winning at Roland-Garros remains one of the highest honours in tennis. \nFor event information and hotels see: \n\nOfficial website and tickets: rolandgarros.com\nHotels in Paris: Expedia | Hotels.com\nCity breaks in Paris: LastMinute.com\n\n \nEditor’s note: Sports Tourism News works with a number of affiliate partners.
