Nelly Korda and Leona Maguire are to join British trio Georgia Hall, Charley Hull and defending champion Bronte Law at the Aramco Team Series - London this July
The Aramco Team Series - London has announced the participation of two of the world's top players, Nelly Korda and Leona Maguire. Returning to the iconic Centurion Club for the third time, this event marks the third instalment of the global golf series this year and is scheduled to take place from July 14 to 16, 2023.
Korda, currently ranked second in the world, has carried her form from 2022 into the new year, securing an impressive six top-10 finishes out of just eight starts this year. Most notably, the Olympic champion claimed a third-place finish in the first Major of the year at the Chevron Championship.
Having tasted victory at the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande last year, Korda has set her sights on adding a second Aramco Team Series trophy to her collection:
“The Aramco Team Series is a special event that showcases a unique blend of individual talent and team dynamics in golf, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to once again compete alongside top professionals and amateurs. I’ve had great performances in the past three Aramco Team Series events I’ve played in, so I hope to deliver a top performance for the fans in London and capture my second Aramco Team Series title.”
Leona Maguire to make first London appearance
Ireland’s Leona Maguire will grace the field alongside an already stellar lineup that features some of Britain’s best, such as world number nine Georgia Hall, world number 23 Charley Hull and defending champion Bronte Law, who left fans in awe with a spectacular 55-foot eagle putt to secure victory last year.
Maguire enjoyed a remarkable 2022 season where she etched her name in history as the first Irish player to capture an LPGA title following her triumph at the LPGA Drive On Championship. Furthermore, the 28-year-old achieved her best-ever finish at a Major championship, tying for fourth place at the AIG Women’s Open, before ending the season on a high with a second-place finish at the 2022 CME Group Tour Championship.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the upcoming Aramco Team Series – London, Maguire said:
“I had a great time competing in the Aramco Team Series – New York last year, and I’m looking forward to being part of the Aramco Team Series on European soil and compete alongside an exceptional field that’s lining up. Hopefully, we can put on a great show for the fans in the UK.”
