The Aramco Team Series makes its highly-anticipated debut in West Palm Beach, Florida later this week, as the world’s best female professional golfers compete for the $1million prize fund over three days at Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach from 19th – 21st May.

Here are seven reasons as to why this event cannot be missed: 

  1. Home-town Hero Lexi Thompson 

Florida star and world number six Lexi Thompson is confirmed to tee it up at the second event  of the 2023 Aramco Team Series presented by PIF at Trump International Golf Club West  Palm Beach. The Florida-native Thompson is no stranger to the Aramco Team Series, having  previously competed in the inaugural event in London and enjoyed victory in New York at  Trump Golf Links Ferry Point last October. Thompson is relishing the opportunity to add to her  impressive record in the Aramco Team Series, commenting “I am looking forward to competing  in the Aramco Team Series in my home state of Florida. I’m a huge fan of the tournament and  this event gives me a chance to compete with the talented players from the Ladies European  Tour in an innovative format and offers fans and players the opportunity to experience  something unique.”  

  1. A Star-Studded Field 

The world’s best female professional golfers will be teeing it up in the second round of the  Aramco Team Series, which consists of five events across the globe contested throughout  the golf calendar. Watch your favourite players including Lexi Thompson, world number-two  Lydia Ko, multiple-time tour winner Jessica Korda and a host of Solheim Cup stars as they  compete for the $1million prize fund. Six-time LPGA winner Korda returns to the Aramco  Team Series, having competed previously in New York where she finished tied 4th, and tied  18th in 2021 and 2022 respectfully. Korda’s best result in the Aramco Team Series came last  year at Sotogrande where she finished tied second in the individual event and was victorious  in the team event with a combined score of 33-under par alongside her teammates. Ko’s  results in the Aramco Team Series have consisted of a string of stellar performances, as the  world number two is relishing her return to the Aramco Team Series and is hoping to improve  on her debut performance in Singapore which saw her finish in third place behind the  eventual winner Pauline Roussin.
