Grant Thornton Invitational

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.

Agree.  In many stat categories, LPGA players are better.  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

I was pretty excited when it saw this announcement.   Only downside is that we have to wait 10 more months until the event.

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.
