Kim A-rim, who won the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour for the first time in four years, will try to win two consecutive games at a tournament hosted by "legendary" Annika Sorenstam (Sweden).
The Annika Driven by Gainbridge at Pelicans (total prize money of $3.25 million) will be held at the Pelican Golf Club (par 70) in Bel-Air, Florida for four days from the 14th (local time).
After four Asian swing competitions, the LPGA Tour returned to the U.S. and finished the Lotte Championship last week in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The Annika Driven is hosted by Sorenstam, who has 72 wins on the LPGA Tour.
Sorenstam took over the Pelican Women's Championship, which began in 2020, and became the current name.
Kim Se-young became the first champion in 2020, and Nelly Korda (USA) won in 2021 and 2022.
Last year, Lilia Bu (USA) came out on top.
The most notable Korean player in this competition is Kim A-rim, who won the Lotte Championship last week with wire-to-wire.
It has been on the rise since the 2020 U.S. Women's Open, topping the LPGA Tour for the first time in four years.
In addition, the first champions Kim Se-young, Yoo Hae-ran, Choi Hye-jin, Annarin, Im Jin-hee, Yang Hee-young, Kim Hyo-joo, Lee Mi-hyang, Lee So-mi and Sung Yu-jin will appear.
Korda, the world's No. 1 player who has won the championship twice, will have her return match. It will be the first real match in two months since the Kroger Queen City Championship in September.
Korda, who has won six games this season, confirmed the Player of the Year Award (244 points), and is ranked first in both the CME Globe race and the prize money. 온라인카지노
