World No. 2 Lilia Vu headlines elite lineup for Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong

HONG KONG: The stage is set for an incredible spectacle of golf as the eagerly awaited Aramco Team Series presented by the Public Investment Fund descends upon Hong Kong. From Oct. 6 to 8, 2023, the renowned Hong Kong Golf Club will play host to a star-studded roster, spearheaded by World No. 2 Lilia Vu, alongside Chinese golf stars Xiyu Lin and Muni He.

Last month, Vu made it to the top of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings for the first time in her career. Her journey to the top has been remarkable, considering that she began the year ranked No. 43. The year 2023 has seen the American achieve incredible feats, including not one but two victories at the majors. The 25-year-old clinched the AIG Women’s Open, adding to her triumph in a playoff at the Chevron Championship in April. She also won at the Honda LPGA Thailand in February and will be aiming for another victory on Asian soil at the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF – Hong Kong.

Vu’s incredible achievement of winning two majors in a single year makes her the first female player to achieve this feat since World No. 4 Jin Young Ko accomplished the same in 2019. The remarkable feat also makes her the first American woman to achieve this milestone since Juli Inkster did so in 1999.

With her participation in the Aramco Team Series in Hong Kong, Vu hopes to add another chapter to her storied career. This event marks her inaugural appearance in the series, providing fans and spectators in the region with a unique opportunity to witness her prowess up close.

The team element of the Aramco Team Series certainly won’t faze the World No. 2, with Vu winning as a member of Team USA at the 2018 Curtis Cup, Arnold Palmer Cup and Espirito Santo Trophy teams. Two weeks
