Na Yeon Choi is the defending champion.

The U.S. Women's Open is the oldest of the five current major championships and the third of the 2013 season. Along with The Evian Championship, it has the largest purse in women's golf, at $3.25 million in 2013.[2] It is one of 16 individual or team championships conducted by the United States Golf Association (USGA).[4][5]

Qualifying and field

The championship is open to any female professional or amateur golfer with a USGA handicap index not exceeding 4.4. Players qualified by competing in one of twenty 36-hole qualifying tournaments that were held between May 7 and May 30 at sites across the United States. Additional players were exempt from qualifying because of past performances in professional or amateur tournaments around the world.[6]

Exempt from qualifying
