The sixth event of the 2023 LET season is here and it’s the first of the Aramco Team Series presented by Public Investment Fund events which is taking place in Singapore.
Laguna National is staging the tournament which sees 78 professionals teeing it up in two competitions being played side by side.
Before the tournament gets underway, here are a few points to look out for…
Team and Individual competitions return
The format is the same as last year with the Individual and Team competitions being played simultaneously. The Team competition will be played over 36-holes over the first two days with the best two scores counting, while the Individual is a 54-hole stroke play competition with the last round just having the top-60 professionals and ties competing.
Teams will consist of three professionals and one amateur; the team captains were decided based upon the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings on Monday 6th March. The Draft will see captains pick in reverse rank order e.g. the 26th ranked captain will pick first with the best-ranked captain picking last.
