Which countries are part of W.A.L.G.?

Updated

W.A.L.G. (the World Association of Ladies Golfers) does not publish a simple member-country list on its homepage. The site's "Countries" section, alongside "History of W.A.L.G.," is the place to check the association's international structure and participating nations. The most concrete country evidence on the page is that the 30th World Championship (22–27 November 2026, Marrakech) is hosted by NALG France — showing that national associations like NALG France organise and host W.A.L.G. championships.

Where country information lives on walg.org

The site is organised into a small set of sections, and country details are spread across them rather than collected in one list:

Section What it tells you about countries
Countries The association's country-level structure and membership information
History of W.A.L.G. How the association developed internationally over time
Policy & Decisions / Minutes Formal decisions that may record admissions or participation
Tournaments / Tournament History Which national associations have hosted events
Roll of Honour World Champions and long-standing attendees, listed by name

How national associations fit in

W.A.L.G. operates through national associations. The 2026 championship entry names NALG France as host, which is the clearest example on the site of a country-level body running a W.A.L.G. event. The same pattern — a national association hosting — is what the Tournament History section records for past championships, so reading it in sequence shows which countries have been active in the association over time.

How to confirm a specific country's participation

  1. Open the Countries section of walg.org and look for the country in question.
  2. If it is not listed there, check History of W.A.L.G. for when the association expanded and which nations joined.
  3. Cross-check Tournament History and the Roll of Honour — a country whose players appear as World Champions or twenty/ten-tournament attendees is clearly participating.
  4. For current or disputed status, the Policy & Decisions and Minutes sections record formal association decisions.

Practical note

The homepage gives no pricing, membership-fee or login information, so nothing here should be read as confirming that country information is open to all visitors or free to access. Treat the Countries section as the starting point and the Minutes as the authoritative record if the two appear to differ.
