American star and World No. 6 Lexi Thompson will tee it up at the second Aramco Team Series event of 2023 at Trump International Golf Club, West Palm Beach, Florida.

The tournament — which takes place between May 19-21 — will see the Series head to Florida for the first time as the best female golfers compete for the $1million prize fund.

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, saying: “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 No. 1  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 $1million prize fund. Aside from the team event, there is a three-day individual stroke play competition contested amongst the professionals which contributes to both Race to Costa del Sol and Rolex World Ranking points.

Noah Alireza, CEO of Golf Saudi, added: “It is exciting to welcome Lexi and all the players to our Aramco Team Series to Florida at the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach. The sunshine state has witnessed iconic moments in professional golf over the years, and I am confident we can provide another memorable week of golf for the players and fans alike at this World-class venue.”
