Location in France

The 2013 Evian Championship was played 12–15 September at the Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains, France. It was the 20th Evian Championship (the first 19 played as the Evian Masters), and the first as a major championship on the LPGA Tour. The inaugural event was televised by Golf Channel and NBC Sports in the United States and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.

Heavy rain before and during the first day of the tournament forced Thursday's played to be suspended and the scores abandoned. The initial plan was to play the first and second rounds on Friday and Saturday and play the final 36 holes on Sunday.^[2] The prediction of more heavy rain on Sunday and several following days forced tournament officials to shorten the event to 54 holes.^[3]

Suzann Pettersen won by two strokes over amateur Lydia Ko.

The field for the tournament was set at 120, and most earned exemptions based on past performance on the Ladies European Tour, the LPGA Tour, or with a high ranking in the Women's World Golf Rankings.

There were seven exemption categories for the 2013 Evian Championship.^[4]

1. The top 40 in the Women's World Golf Rankings.
2. Active Evian Masters Champions.
3. 2013 LPGA Tour winners.
4. 2013 Ladies European Tour (LET) winners.
5. The top 5 on the LET Order of Merit.
6. Evian invitations (six).
7. Remainder of players from the LPGA Tour money list.

Thursday's play began after a two-hour rain delay. Play was suspended after less than an hour due to continuing rain. The scores were annulled and play resumed on Friday. The course had received almost 4 inches (10 cm) of rain since the previous Saturday.^[2][5] The first round was played on Friday with Mika Miyazato of Japan shooting a 6-under-par 65 to take a one stroke lead over Sandra Gal, Se Ri Pak, and Suzann Pettersen.^[6]
