The first LPGA event of the season, 2023, has hit the grounds of Lake Nona Golf & Country Club. Since 2019, LPGA champions and famous people have gathered in Orlando for the exciting and fun-filled tournament. But one of the biggest entertainers snatched the players’ limelight this time. Businesswoman cum model, Paris Hilton has taken over the grounds of Orlando after she appeared at the inaugural event of the female golf tour.
The 30-player field player qualified for this week’s event by winning on the LPGA Tour in the previous two seasons. Nelly Korda, ranked No. 2, is the group’s star and has placed in the top 10 in each competition. The runner-up from the previous year, No. 7 Brooke Henderson and No. 10 Nasa Hataoka, join Korda in the top 10 of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings. LPGA has been trying to up the game for all the female golfers, who have been working hard too. And this event is another step towards success.
However, big names are playing at the event. Still, Hilton was able to steal the attention. Let’s find out more!

She’s a DJ as well.” A female commentator expressing her love for Hilton’s cart followed this and said, “I love the pink golf cart.

Hilton’s presence glitters more over the already gold event. However, she was not the only charm of the event. Brooke Henderson is leading, followed by Nelly Korda. Golf legend Annika Sorenstam is also competing in the celebrity division. Henderson started the round with four straight birdies, was 9-under par by the time she reached the sixth tee and played flawlessly for a 6-under 66 at Lake Nona. She might take the trophy home; however, only time will tell.
