It is the second successive year the tournament has featured on the schedule, having been launched in 2023 as the first co-sanctioned event between the LPGA Tour and PGA Tour since the JCPenney Classic in 1999.
Which formats are used?
Friday’s action is played under as a scramble, where each player hits a tee shot and then the team selects which ball to be used for the next shot. Both players hit their next shots from that spot and the process continues until the ball is holed.
