Leading players from across women’s golf are relishing the opportunity to tee it up at the Aramco Team Series – New York this week.
Trump Golf Links at Ferry Points plays host to the second edition of the tournament, which has a format of a 54-hole Individual event alongside a 36-hole Team event.
The prize fund of USD $1 million is split between the two competitions with a prize pool of USD $500,000 for the Team competition and USD $500,000 for the Individual competition.

The world number four selected Finland’s Noora Komulainen as her captain’s pick and the duo will also be joined by France’s Celine Herbin and amateur James Rawson.
Speaking about the test the field will face this week, Korda is expecting to have to deal with some weather conditions during the first round.
