Two-hundred-seventy-five years later, and more than two years after Muirfield’s Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers announced that it would open its membership to women, it has extended invitations to 12 women, the club announced.
The club, located in East Lothian, Scotland, declined to reveal the names of the 12 women, though it noted two “are overseas candidates.” What is known is that Catriona Matthew, a Scot who will captain the European Solheim Cup later this year, is not among them.
