fixyurdivot Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The PGA and LPGA have announced this new event which will pair a PGA and LPGA player in a limited team format this coming December at Tiburon GC. 16 twosomes will battle it out for a $4M purse. I think this will be fun and very competitive event. It's also my guess this event will become quite popular (maybe more so than the JC Penny Classic) and we'll see the purse increase as the years roll along. Nelly Korda partners with Tony Finau while here sister Jessica teams up with Rickie Fowler. Specifics on exact format have yet to be released but they'll no doubt come up with something entertaining.

I absolutely LOVE this idea. I think people will (in general) be shocked at how amazing the LPGA players are - should be a very, very cool event. fixyurdivot 1 Quote Driver - PXG 0811 XF - Gen 5, 9 degrees (+1 setting), Oban Devotion TR 65 04 3/5 Wood - Cobra LTDx Max (Blue Colorway) Utility - Caley X01 Driving Iron (3 = 18*) Irons (5-PW) - Caley 01T Wedges (48, 52, 56, 60) - Indi Wedges FLX 48 / ATK 52, 56, 60 Putter - L.A.B.

The aforementioned teams are ambassadors and may or may not be ideally matched from a stats based perspective. I have no idea how the remaining 14 team will be decided; randomly by the PGA/LPGA, players from each requesting they be paired, or ???? While we await for this information, how about let's list who we'd like to see teamed up. My top three are; Rahm/Thompson, Scheffler/Ko, and Homa/Henderson Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I was pretty excited when it saw this announcement. Only downside is that we have to wait 10 more months until the event.

Dweed Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I think it will be a hit. Especially at that time of year. Wish them all luck.

panhndl Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 LPGA golfers are amazing. I forget the woman, but one woman averaged closer to the pin at all approach distances than the best man at each distance last year. The only thing LPGA golfers can’t compete with men is overall distance, especially off the tee. I’m super pumped for this event. I think I spent more time watching women’s golf at the last Olympics than any sport. The coverage was fantastic and the golfers were simply superb. cnosil 1 Quote Driver: Ping G425 Max 10.5 Fujikara Speeder NX 50r #3, #5, #7 fairway woods 1 Iron Golf 5-LW irons 1 Iron Golf Scotty Cameron Del Mar Lefties Rule!
