KAEC: World number seven Lexi Thompson and defending champion Georgia Hall will compete in their first tournament of the 2023 season when they play in this week’s Aramco Saudi Ladies International Presented by Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The $5 million event returns to the world-renowned Royal Greens Golf & Country Club this week, and both Thompson and Hall expect a tough challenge over the next few days after yesterday’s practice rounds.
In addition to the trickier-than-usual course conditions at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club this year, both players are part of the event’s strongest field to date.
They will have to take on some of the world’s best, such as world number 1 Lydia Ko and world number 4 Atthaya Thitikul if they are to capture the title and the biggest slice of the $5million prize fund.
