The LPGA contests its lone official team event of the year at Midland Country Club in Midland, Michigan.
There are 72 two-player teams in the field. The stroke-play tournament will consist of foursomes (alternate shot) in Rounds 1 and 3 and fourballs (better ball) in Rounds 2 and 4.
There is a 36-hole cut to the low 33 teams and ties. The purse is $3.3 million — a yearly increase of $300,000 — with the winning team splitting first- and second-place prize money. Last year’s winners, Ruoning Yin and Jeeno Thitikul, each earned $365,305. This year’s champs will each receive $402,691.
