After two well-earned weeks off, new Golf Saudi ambassador and 2023 Ladies European Tour card holder Chiara Noja and the rest of the field get back into action at Ferry Point with the Aramco Team Series – New York.
This looks like the strongest field ever in an ATS event with stars checking in from across the globe.
The individual 54-hole strokeplay tournament and 36-hole team event kicks off on Thursday with $500,000 on offer in both competitions.
Last time out, the Korda sisters wowed the crowds at Sotogrande, Spain, with Nelly grabbing the individual title, while Jessica took the team crown.
The Korda sisters are back for more in the Golf Saudi event, with Jessica ready to defend her NY team title from 2021, and Nelly ready to go one better, as she missed out to Charley Hull last time out in the Big Apple.

Speaking of which, Hull is back to defend her ATS — New York Title, alongside a raft of contenders. World No. 8 Lexi Thompson and 2022 Evian major champ Brooke Henderson will both be in attendance, along with fellow North Americans Lindsey Weaver-Wright, Natalie Gulbis, Kelly Whaley, Annie Park and Jillian Hollis.
The legend that is Laura Davies did not want to miss out and former Order of Merit champs Emily Kristine Pedersen (2020), Beth Allen (2016), Hull (2014), Lee-Anne Pace (2010) and Carlota Ciganda (2012), are lining up another shot at glory.
No one looks like having an easy task as there are plenty of 2022 LET champs in the field including Pace (Investec SA Women’s Open) and Ciganda (Estrella Damm Ladies Open) joined by Ana Peláez Trivino (Madrid Ladies Open), Manon De Roey (Aramco Team Series – Bangkok), Tiia Koivisto (Jabra Ladies Open), Bronte Law (Aramco Team Series – London), Anna Nordqvist (Big Green Egg Open), Maja Stark (Women’s NSW Open, Amundi German Masters, ISPS Handa World Invitational), Anne-Charlotte Mora (Åland 100 Ladies Open by Ålandsbanken), Liz Young (VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open), Ines Laklalech (Lacoste Ladies Open de France) and Klara Spilkova (KPMG Women’s Irish Open).
Then there are the Solheim Cup stars such as Becky Brewerton, Linda Wessberg, Anne Van Dam, Leona Maguire, Madelene Sagstrom and Caroline Hedwall.
Strap yourself in for a thrilling weekend at ATS — New York, where anything can happen!
