Lexi Thompson looks to make waves in Tampa Bay at Aramco Team Series presented by PIF

FLORIDA, US: Major winner and Solheim Cup star Lexi Thompson is to spearhead an array of golf talents at Tampa Bay in Florida in the Aramco Team Series presented by the Public Investment Fund from March 8-10.
Gearing up for its fourth year, the series is taking place at Tampa Bay for the first time, with the elite of women’s golf set to compete at Feather Sound Country Club, Clearwater.
Chasing her 16th professional win, Thompson is looking to add a second Aramco Team Series presented by PIF trophy to her collection.
The favorite will not be short of hungry competition with last year’s winner Carlota Ciganda seeking to prove her worth once again.
Thompson said: “With the Aramco Team Series returning to Florida this year, it was a no-brainer to put myself in contention for the event. It’s always great to be able to compete at home with that local support, especially to do so in such a unique tournament that has so much collaborative spirit.”
To triumph at home in the Aramco Team Series would be a highlight for the sporting star.
She added: “To be a part of an event that not only celebrates skill but also champions women’s golf, at home and beyond, is truly special.”
Shane Crawford, the general manager at Feather Sound Country Club, said: “Hosting an event of this caliber allows us to contribute to the continued growth of golf here in Tampa, and we look forward to creating an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike.”
Established in 2021, the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF is a unique three-day event in which teams of three professionals and one amateur combine, battling for the prestigious team trophy. The overall top performing golfer challenges for the individual title and a win on the Ladies European Tour.
The series spans five locations across three continents this year: Tampa Bay, Seoul, London, a city in Asia yet to be announced, and Riyadh — with a $1 million prize purse at stake in each event.
The Florida event is the only opportunity for European golfers on the LET to get solid experience on US soil before heading back there to do battle for the Solheim Cup later in the year.
