The year 2024 has brought with it a mix of bittersweet realities. The worst hit that the golf world seems to be enduring since the start of the year with respect to the the spiral of cursed weather. What started at the PGA Tour’s second signature event of the season seems to have become a 2024 tradition of the golf world by now.

But will this cursed tradition entrap the LPGA Tour’s upcoming Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, previously known as DIO Implant LA Open? Will the event also get delayed, postponed, or cancelled? Well, while that remains to be seen! But for now, lets see how the weather might look like for the weekend at the Palos Verdes GC?

What do the weather reports indicate about the upcoming DIO Implant LA Open?

While the LPGA Tour has mostly had destiny on its side in the past few months, the PGA Tour’s curse seems to be communicating with its women’s golf counterpart. The event is set to begin on Thursday, March 21st, and continue until Sunday, March 24th.

While the first day of the event is forecast to be mostly clear, the same cannot be said about the days to come. On Thursday, as per the forecast, there will be intervals of clouds and sunshine. The day will mostly have a high temperature of around 75 °F. The winds on Day 1 of the event are expected to blow NW at 5 to 10 mph.

However, starting from Friday to Sunday, the weather conditions are bound to change, and sadly enough, not in the event’s  favor. It is being forecasted that there will be continuous showers on the remaining three days. On Friday, there will likely be a clear morning followed by showers later in the day. There is a strong 50% chance of such rain.

On Saturday and Sunday, the showers are predicted to take a morning route and continue until later in the day. There is a very high, that is 70% and 60% chance on Saturday, and Sunday respectively. The winds are likely to flow 10 to 15 mph NW on the final day. Who are the stars on the field in the California-based event who are likely to suffer?
