This week will kick off the most ambitious and interesting initiative that has been launched in the Ladies European Tour in recent years. It is about the Aramco Series, a group of four tournaments that will combine the individual and team format with a prize pool of one million dollars each. The first stop starts this Thursday in London, in the Centurion Golf Club, with the presence of a lineup of players more than juicy.
Everything there is to know about the Aramco Team Series:
– Four will be played in 2021. The first will be this week in London, the second will be played in The Sotogrande Reserve in August, the third in New York in July and the fourth in Saudi Arabia in October.
– compete 36 teams in each test formed by four golfers, three professionals and an amateur. The two best results from each hole count, so the amateur, who plays with his handicap, can contribute a lot during the competition.
– The teams will be chosen by a system of draft. The 36 heads of series will be designated by their ranking in the world rankings. The second player on the team will be handpicked by the captain and the third will be drawn from a draw. The amateur that will make up each team will also enter by lottery. The first seed is Lexi Thompson. No Spanish will be one of the 36 seeds.
