The inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational gets underway Friday morning, an event filled with PGA Tour and LPGA stars. Two-person teams consisting of one Tour member and one LPGA member will compete at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, the home of the LPGA’s season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and former home to the Tour’s QBE Shootout.
Three formats will be used over three days of competition: scramble (Friday, round one), alternate shot (Saturday, round two) and modified best ball (Sunday, round three). Modified best ball is a new format and will make for great entertainment. Each player tees off, then the team switches golf balls and finishes the hole. The lowest score between the two players will count for the team.
A few of the notable teams include Tony Finau/Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang/Sahith Theegala and Rickie Fowler/Lexi Thompson.
