Amundi’s long-term commitment to women’s golf was evident in 2021, when Amundi became the title partner for 5 years of the women’s golf major in Evian, France, renamed ‘The Amundi Evian Championship’. Amundi’s commitment strengthened throughout 2022 with its relaunch of a Ladies European Tour tournament in Germany.
