Some big names in the sport have already confirmed their participation for the third event with Nelly Korda , Georgia Hall and Charley Hull featuring at the Centurion Club on 3rd July.

The remaining two events include Asia (4th - 6th October) and Saudi Arabia (31st October - 2 November).

Nelly Korda will defend her title at the Aramco Team Series event in London 

Despite Nelly Korda's success, she is levelheaded, and keen to ensure she can use her profile to inspire more young girls to take up golf. 

“It is inspiring to be in a position to have a positive influence on the game. 

“Making an impact on the next generation is something that is important to me. I try to inspire young girls and boys to encourage them to pick up a golf club for the first time - and the Aramco Team Series is a big part of that, as I’ve seen first-hand how their initiatives can have such a positive impact on the next generation.”

After freelancing for Golf Monthly and The PGA for 18 months, he was offered a full-time position at the company in October 2022 and continues to cover weekend news and social media, as well as help look after Golf Monthly’s many buyers’ guides and equipment reviews.

Taking up the game when he was just seven years of age, Matt made it into his county squad just a year later and continues to play the game at a high standard, with a handicap of around 2-4. To date, his best round came in 2016, where he shot a six-under-par 66 having been seven-under through nine holes. He currently plays at Witney Lakes in Oxfordshire and his favourite player is Rory McIlroy, despite nearly being struck by his second shot at the 17th during the 2015 BMW PGA Championship.

Alexandra Armas interview: Ladies European Tour chief on Aramco Team Series, growing prize money and selling women’s golf

By: Frank Dalleres

• Facebook Share on Facebook
• X Share on Twitter
• LinkedIn Share on LinkedIn
• WhatsApp Share on WhatsApp

Alexandra Armas, the former golfer now running the Ladies European Tour, concedes she feels mixed emotions as the season prepares to go up a notch in Thailand this week.

There is satisfaction that this campaign will be the biggest and most lucrative yet in the tour’s history, with 34 events on a schedule that takes in the US, Australia, Africa and the Middle East as well as its European heartlands.

And there is understandable relief that it is happening at all given the uncertainty of the last two years. Although Armas was appointed chief executive in January 2020, this is set to be her first season in charge during which spectators are expected to attend all tournaments.

“You just don’t know how things are going to pan out, especially through the pandemic,” Armas tells City A.M. 

“We had big ambitions to rebuild the schedule and rebuild in Europe – that was a big thing for us, to have our core back. It’s a relief that we’ve got the players out competing and working again. The schedule looks good – more prize money and events than they’ve ever had – but there’s a long way to go. The job’s never done.”

Two relationships have been critical in helping the LET get back on its feet. 

First, a strategic alliance with US counterparts the LPGA, agreed before the pandemic, lent it stability and practical assistance. “If we hadn’t had that and the backing of their resources we probably would have struggled,” Armas says.

Second, closer cooperation with Golf Saudi brought about a new string of big-money events, the Aramco Team Series . 

The series, which features an innovative format comprising both team and individual scoring, offered $1m at each of its four events, almost doubling the total prize money for tournaments solely sanctioned by the LET.

More than that, however, the Aramco Team Series has also raised the bar for what sponsors interested in partnering with the tour expect to contribute. 

“That relationship was good in growing the schedule but has had a knock-on effect,” says Spaniard Armas.

“The players are competing for $1m and that’s now an expectation from partners who want to get involved. They want to get to that level.

“Growth generates growth. That’s also been a part of the success to a certain extent. In isolation they’re obviously very good events but also I think as an integral part of the tour it’s helped showcase what our players can do and what the LET is about.”

She adds: “The events are played on good venues, the players play for good money, they are very well looked after – that helps them thrive. We’ve seen a lot of talented players come through in Europe in the last few years. Opportunity to play on that stage drives that. 

“They’re all televised, there is a lot of impact we’re doing around the tournaments – whether it’s women’s participation, around sustainability or disabled golf – that reach out to a wider audience than we would normally have.”​​

Aramco Team Series heading back to London

The first event of this year’s Aramco Team Series tees off on Thursday in Bangkok and features stars such as England’s Charley Hull and Thailand’s own Patty Tavatanakit, who won her first major last year aged just 21. 

It sees the series expand from four legs to five and visit Asia a year later than planned, the LET having had to switch a scheduled date from Singapore to Sotogrande in Spain in 2021 owing to Covid-19 restrictions.

Next month it returns to London’s Centurion Club, where Hull was joined by compatriot and fellow order of merit winner Georgia Hall in a stellar field last year. As in the series’ inaugural season, further events are due to follow in Spain, New York and Jeddah.

Armas says it could expand further but “it depends on the opportunities that come up and maintaining the value of what has already been built”.

A unique element of the series is that each team of four features one amateur. In London last year, Englishman Andrew Kelsey was part of Olivia Cowan’s winning team. Other amateurs included amputee golfer George Blackshaw. 

This year the format has been tweaked slightly. The team scoring will conclude on Friday, with individual scoring finishing on Saturday. Armas says the move is designed to give “more profile to both elements rather than potentially diluting them as it was before”.

The LET has added more mixed male and female events to its schedule in 2022 and will continue to innovate to make itself heard, says Armas.

“We’re always open to look at alternatives as long as they are within what we’d consider a fair golf tournament for the athletes,” she adds. 

“One thing that the pandemic taught us is that sometimes we have to do things a little bit differently. We have to be a little more creative to get attention. It doesn’t always have to be 72-hole stroke play.”

Armas says her two years at the helm of the LET have been positive but she is adamant there is much more to be done. Top of her list of priorities is making professional golf a more sustainable career choice for women.

“We’ve already probably doubled the prize fund from where we were in 2019, so it’s going in the right direction,” she says.

“We have a lot more TV hours, we’re looking at all of our digital assets; commercialising the tour better is an opportunity for us to generate more revenue to invest. We’re not going to say it’s easy to sell women’s sports but it’s getting easier.

“I think we’re on a very good trajectory. Our relationship with the LPGA is very strong. That is important for the women’s game that we align to have a cohesive women’s professional environment around the globe.

“We’re not just a women’s version of the men’s game. We’re our own entities, our own culture, the athletes are different, they behave and interact differently, and I think that’s what is helping women’s sports to continue these relationships in the corporate world and finding new partners.”

Alexandra Forsterling lands third LET title with Aramco Team Series Tampa win

Germany's Alexandra Forsterling has now won three times in her last 10 starts on the Ladies European Tour. 

Alexandra Forsterling continued to prove she is one of the brightest young talents on the Ladies European Tour as she picked up a third title in her last 10 starts with a convincing victory at the Aramco Team Series Tampa presented by PIF. 

Forsterling, 24, carded a solid final-round 67 to finish the 54-hole tournament at 12-under par and three strokes clear of England's Charley Hull (71).

The win marks Forsterling's third on the Ladies European Tour.

She earned her maiden title at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open in September 2023.

Forsterling also won the Mallorca Ladies Open in November 2023.

The German trailed Hull by one shot heading into the final round but three early birdies on the first seven holes saw Forsterling race to the front.

A bogey briefly derailed Forsterling in her tracks but she soon surged into a commanding three-shot lead with back-to-back birdies on 12 and 13. 

Forsterling then added another birdie on the short par-4 16th to slam the door before making pars on 17 and 18. 

England's Bronte Law (67) finished in third on 8-under par, with Spanish duo Carlota Ciganda (72) and Ana Pelaez Trivino (71) in tied fourth on 7-under par. 

The Aramco Team Series saw each professional playing alongside three amateurs.

In total, there were 28 teams in the field. 

The 84 professionals took part in a three-day individual strokeplay competition. 

The team event concluded with Pauline Roussin-Bouchard's side winning by one stroke on 28-under par. 

Hull's side finished T2 alongside Alice Hewson's team.

Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed - Day one digest

Everything you need to know from day one in Sweden.

Sebastian Söderberg surged ahead, Dylan Frittelli got a belated birthday present, Linn Grant was starring again and Jorge Campillo was giving greenkeepers the heebie jeebies on day one of the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed .

Here is everything you need to know from Thursday at Vasatorps Golfklubb.

Söderberg leads on home soil

Söderberg continued his recent run of fine form to lead the way on home soil. The Swede already had three top tens on the 2024 season when he finished second, second and third in consecutive events to top the Asian Swing and earn a place at the US PGA Championship. He made the cut in his second Major Championship appearance last time out and brought that momentum to Helsingborg, carding a bogey-free 63 to get to nine under and lead by two from South African Frittelli and England's Alex Fitzpatrick. Malaysia's Gavin Green was at six under and, in the event where 78 men and 78 women play in the same groups for one prize fund and one trophy, Ladies European Tour players Grant and Lauren Walsh were in the group four shots off the lead.

Sweet success for Frittelli

Frittelli turned 34 on Wednesday but revealed he had not had a big celebration. "Kept it simple, Wednesday of a golf tournament," he said. "Practice, play nine holes, had dinner with my girlfriend and a nice dessert. I had a cookie with some ice cream so maybe that was the celebration." It certainly did the trick as Frittelli went bogey-free as he looks for a second win of the season.

Grant blazing a trail again

Grant was loving playing at home as the 2022 champion carded an excellent 67. Two years ago, the 24-year-old romped to a remarkable nine-shot victory as she became the first female winner in DP World Tour history. She had fantastic support on home soil that week in Tylösand but that is ramped up even further in 2024 as Helsingborg is her home town. "It was amazing," she said. "I love crowds. It’s always so nice to have. It’s nice to have a group that follows you that really cheers for you. They were cheering for all of us, but it was just that extra support. I’m going to work out in my own gym, which is so nice, and hang out with some friends. Have a barbecue and enjoy some time off before tomorrow. I told (my brother) the best thing is that we can go home. It’s just the best."

A chip-in with a difference

Usually when you make a chip-in it's because you have missed the green. On Thursday, Campillo was chipping in from on the green. Greenkeepers, look away now.

And a slightly more common one

But this was no less impressive from Frittelli.

Linn Grant enjoying home comforts in Helsingborg

Linn Grant was loving playing at home as the 2022 champion carded an excellent 67 on day one of the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed.

Making Moves: Hinako Shibuno On The Rise

Featured groups: 2024 shoprite lpga classic presented by acer.

• Hinako Shibuno
• solheim-cup

Hinako Shibuno might have come up short in Pennsylvania and missed out on her second LPGA Tour win, but she still had the Move of the Week, jumping 131 spots in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings to No. 61. This runner-up finish ties her second-best result as an LPGA Tour member, which came in 2022 at the LOTTE Championship presented by Hoakalei.

Japanese players had a great deal of success last week taming Lancaster Country Club. It was the first major championship in both women's and men's golf history that players representing Japan finished first and second on the leaderboard. Shibuno finished the U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally three shots behind her fellow countrywoman Yuka Saso. She attributes their success to competing on courses similar to Lancaster when playing in Japan.

"I mentioned this (on Saturday) that the Japanese players did very well,” said Shibuno after her final round in Pennsylvania. “I think part of the reason is they hit it very straight, and despite that this course is difficult. There are a lot of ups and downs, and it's slopey. However, the greens here are similar, somewhat similar, to greens in Japan. Maybe that's why they did very well."

Shibuno stormed onto the LPGA Tour scene with her victory at the 2019 AIG Women's Open in her major debut. Yet, after her win, she made the equally stunning decision to forgo the LPGA Tour membership that came with the victory, opting to remain home in Japan and continue her JLPGA Tour career.

She eventually earned membership via LPGA Q-Series in 2021 and has since amassed seven career top-10 finishes, racking up $2,604,290 in career earnings. But her success last week could be a breakthrough moment that propels her back to the LPGA Tour winner's circle later this season.

Olympic Hopeful Yuka Saso Makes Move in Standings

Yuka Saso captured her second career LPGA Tour win and major title at the U.S. Women's Open, moving her from No. 44 to sixth in the Race to the CME Globe standings. The victory helped her ultimately crack the top 10 in the Rolex Rankings for the first time since March of 2022, and Saso is well on her way to representing Japan at the Olympics for a second time, having first done so in Tokyo, where she finished in a tie for ninth.

As the 2024 Olympics draw near, the pressure is on players to perform well and climb the rankings, all in the hope of securing a spot to represent their country in Paris. And Saso is no exception. With only a few more tournaments left before the teams are finalized, the competition is heating up and the stakes are high, and she knows she’s going to have to be on top of her game to make her Paris dreams a reality.

"I think we only have a few more tournaments," said the past Olympian. "Two more after this. I'm not sure where my ranking is right now, but I think trying to play good for the last two events, three events that I have, I think that would give myself a chance to be in the Olympics.”

Saso has one additional top-10 this season to her credit, a tie for ninth at T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards. She also ranks second on the Official Money List and is third in the Rolex Player of the Year standings.

U.S.  Solheim Cup Standings Update

Players have shuffled in and out of the top seven positions in the Solheim Cup standings, and the final few guaranteed spots on this year's team are still up for grabs. With Ally Ewing and Andrea Lee tying for third at the U.S. Women’s Open presented by Ally, the pair made the largest jumps in the U.S. Solheim Cup Team point standings. Ewing moved from sixth to fourth, while Lee moved from seventh to fifth after their solid performances at Lancaster Country Club.

Alison Lee (No. 18), Angel Yin (No. 28), Jennifer Kupcho (No. 46) and Lexi Thompson (No. 58) are each vying for one of the two guaranteed spots that go to the top two players in the Rolex Rankings who are not already eligible.

Alison Lee’s T44 result in Pennsylvania moved her down a position in the world rankings to No. 18, while missed cuts from Yin, Kupcho and Thompson dropped them all in the rankings, and they still have work to do if they want to compete for the Americans this September.

The U.S. Team  will comprise the top seven players in the U.S. Solheim Cup standings, the top two in the  Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings  not already eligible, and three captain's picks. The team will be finalized on Aug. 25, 2024, following the AIG Women's Open.

Europe Solheim Cup Standings Update

Charley Hull and Alexandra Forsterling continue to lead the Solheim Cup standings for Team Europe, but Carlota Ciganda has closed the gap and now only trails by nearly nine points for one of the automatic spots on the team. The Spaniard’s T19 finished in Lancaster, Pa., has her at No. 29 in Rolex Rankings, and she is currently one of six players eligible to qualify via the world rankings.

As of today, the six Rolex Rankings qualifiers for the European Team are Celine Boutier (No. 3), Maja Stark (No. 17), Carlota Ciganda (No. 29), Leona Maguire (No. 31), Linn Grant (No. 32) and Georgia Hall (No. 34). The next two players are Madelene Sagstrom (No. 35) and Anna Nordqvist (No. 63).

The European Team  will comprise the top two players in the Europe Solheim Cup standings, the top six players in the  Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings  not already eligible, and four captain's picks. Like the U.S. Team, the European team will be finalized on Aug. 25, 2024, after the conclusion of the AIG Women’s Open.
