Is Minjee Lee Playing at the FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship 2024?

The third edition of the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship is scheduled to begin from 21st March to 24th March. The newly named championship will be hosted at the Palos Verdes Golf Club, with a purse of $2 million. Past champions like Marina Alex and Ruoning Yin are announced to mark their presence in the greens.

Nelly Korda too will be joining back after taking a break from the championship. Joining her will be other LPGA Tour winners Hannah Green, Bailey Tardy, and Patty Tavatanakit. However, there have been major speculations as to whether the 2019 SERI Pak Champion, Minjee Lee will be back in the field this year. If you are one of her fans looking out for the answer, here’s what’s up!

Minjee Lee to focus on the five Majors

The field list of the FIR HILLS Seri Pak Championship was recently revealed, and as it turns out, the 5th player in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Ranking, Minjee Lee, will not be a part of it! As she made her debut at the HSBC Women’s World in Singapore this year, Lee made her target for 2024 clear.

The 2x Major champion only wishes to widen her list with more major wins. She said, “Obviously it’s a big year with the Olympics and all the majors. They are always on the top of my priority list, I guess. Always want to be playing well in those and contending.”

With five majors set to commence this year, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Lee to grab. Not to forget the third Olympic campaign in Paris, which is another milestone on her list this year. If not the Seri Pak Championship, what is her next target for now?

Minjee Lee is all set for the Chevron Championship

Minjee Lee has not yet won a single title this year, which has marked a repetition of her journey last year. Having lost to Bailey Tardy at the Blue Bay LPGA Tournament, she tied for the fourth position with Savannah Katarina Grewal and Lydia Ko. With the defeat, Lee is all set to conquer her dreams as the Professional Women’s Golf Majors are to begin with the Chevron Championship next month.

It is scheduled to be held from 18th April to 21st April at The Club at Carlton Woods. Her absence from the Seri Pak Championship could be so that she can focus on taking away the trophy this year from the defending champion Lilia Vu. Will not participating in the Seri Pak Championship turn out to be fruitful for the Australian golfer by getting her closer to her dreams? Stay tuned to find out.
