Can Nelly Korda defend her title?
This year’s Ford Championship lineup is stacked with some of the biggest names in women’s golf. Alongside Nelly Korda, stars like Atthaya Thitikul, Lydia Ko, Jin Young Ko, and Celine Boutier will be battling it out on the stunning par-72, 6,661-yard course. Lydia Ko will be coming to the course, having won the HSBC Women’s Championship in February.
One of the most inspiring stories this year is Gabby Barker, who received a sponsor exemption. She’s the first female Native American professional golfer to receive this honor! Hailing from Caldwell, Idaho, and a proud member of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, Barker shared her excitement, saying, “It’s an honor to compete against the best in the world while also representing something much bigger than myself.”
