2024 Ford Championship Presented by KCC: Weather Forecast Explored

The weather has been a matter of concern for the 2024 golf season so far, especially with the PGA Tour events. Events such as the WM Phoenix Open, Puerto Rico Open, and Valspar Championship became victims of poor weather. With the weather gods cursing the PGA Tour, will it extend to the sister tour as well for the coming weekend?

The Ford Championship presented by KCC on the LPGA Tour is just around the corner. The event is scheduled for March 28–31 at Seville Golf & Country Club, with a field of 144 players. The golf course offers terrific views and challenging play for golfers. Names like Lilia Vu, world No. 1 Nelly Korda, and others will be competing for a $2 million purse. With Korda coming fresh from two consecutive wins in her last two appearances, all the eyes will surely be on her. Will her and others performance be hindered by the weather? 

The weather is expected to be clear on the first two days
