Lexi Thompson: ‘This event gives me a chance to compete with the talented players from the Ladies European Tour’ Thompson: ‘My victory in New York last year was one of the highlights of my season and I’m looking forward to continuing my success in this series’ RIYADH: American 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 Public Investment Fund at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. The tournament which takes place between Friday 19th and Sunday 21st May 2023 will head to Florida for the first time and will see the best names from the world of professional women’s golf compete for the $1 million prize fund. 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. The 28-year-old is relishing the opportunity to add to her impressive record, “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.” “My victory in New York last year was one of the highlights of my season and I’m looking forward to continuing my success in this series in front of a home crowd.” The upcoming Florida staging is the second event of the 2023 Aramco Team Series, following an exciting finale in Singapore in March, where young French star Pauline Roussin-Bouchard shot an outstanding 64, including a run of five birdies in six holes around the turn, to claim her second Ladies European Tour title — holding off World Number One, Lydia Ko. The elevated Aramco Team Series on the Ladies European Tour is competed across five global destinations throughout the year. After kicking off in Singapore, the series moves on to Florida, London and Hong Kong before concluding in Riyadh in October. May’s event consists of 36 teams comprising of one amateur and three professionals who compete for a $1 million prize fund. Aside from the team event, there is a three-day individual stroke play competition contested among the professionals which contributes to both Race to Costa del Sol and Rolex World Ranking points.
