Nelly Korda, 26, from Bradenton, defends her title. She is world number one with 15 titles on the circuit, including two Majors, three on the Ladies European Tour, one on the Symetra Tour (now Epson Tour) and an Olympic gold in Tokyo. She will face almost all the best players on the tour. In the field, in fact, there are eighteen of the top 20 of the Rolex Ranking (including the top ten) including New Zealander Lydia (no. 3), Angel Yin (no. 11) and Japan's Rio Takeda (no. 15) winners this year, in addition to the other two outside the top 20 who scored, Yealimi Noh and Korea's A Lim Kim. Thailand's Jeeno Thitikul (no. 2) is in excellent form, having failed to win on the LPGA Tour, but in February she won the rich PIF Saudi Ladies International on the Ladies European Tour, but the pros ranked from fourth to tenth in the ranking are also worth following. In order, China's Ruoning Yin, Australia's Hannah Green, Lilia Vu, Japan's Ayaka Furue, Korea's Jin Young Ko and Haeran Ryu and England's Charley Hull.

Among the many others capable of competing for the title, we can mention, to name a few, Megan Khang, Rose Zhang, Jennifer Kupcho, Sarah Schmelzel, the French Celine Boutier, the Japanese Nasa Hataoka and the Canadian Brooke M. Henderson.
Benedetta Moresco, who took the card with the 18th place in the Q-Series Final Qualifying Stage in December, in the two participations she ranked 23rd in the Founders Cup and 33rd in the Blue Bay LPGA. The prize pool is 2,250,000 dollars with first place of 375,000 dollars. And this is all about this event.
