LAS VEGAS, Nevada – 1 April, 2026 – World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul and second-ranked Nelly Korda head one of the strongest fields in women's golf at this week's Aramco Championship being staged at iconic Shadow Creek where the players are preparing for a 'major championship' challenge.
With this $4 million event co-sanctioned by the LPGA and the Ladies European Tour (LET), every player in the top 20 of the Rolex Women's World Rankings will tee it up in Thursday's opening round, making this the strongest PIF Global Series field ever assembled.
"It's great we have all the top 20 here," said world No. 8. Hannah Green of Australia, who has made a sizzling start to this year with three tournament wins in her last three starts. "It just shows that with this venue, the PIF, Golf Saudi getting involved, you're going to get the best fields in the world.
"I don't think it changes so much how I prepare for this particular tournament, but it's definitely a tournament I hope to do well in ... I'm really looking forward to teeing up tomorrow," added Green, who won the LPGA Tour's HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore before following up with victories at the LET's Women's Australian Open and Australian WPGA Championship.
England's World No. 4 Charley Hull also feels inspired by strength of this week's field.
"It's really important, and I'm very grateful that PIF and Golf Saudi have given this opportunity to both LPGA and LET players, especially with the prize fund being pretty big this week," said Hull, who won this year's PIF Global Series opener in Riyadh - the PIF Saudi Ladies International - in February.
"It's attracting a really good field, so credit to them for choosing such a great golf course, as well. It's really good to be rewarded for good shots. Obviously we are going to have challenges, there's going to be some hard shots ... you've got to play your best golf."
For Thitikul, the sheer quality of the Tom Fazio-designed Shadow Creek layout marks out this week as a major challenge for the best players in the world.
"This is a major course setup," said Thitikul, who won her eighth LPGA Tour career title at the Honda LPGA Thailand in February. "Every part of this golf course can give you something like a smile, but at a different part you can be so frustrated with it. So I think it's surely for testing everything in your game, physically and mentally-wise.'
"Shadow Creek is a tough course in my perspective. It tests every part of my game and every part of everyone's game. You have to be in the right spot for every shot that you have because if not, it can cost you a lot. Definitely you're going to make misses out there, but I think patience is the key here."
Australian World No. 5 Minjee Lee is also embracing the high-calibre test of golf for the players this week at Shadow Creek.
"Shadow Creek is just a beauty of a golf course," smiled the 29-year-old from Perth in Western Australia. "It's challenges every part of my game, and I think everybody's game. You have to be really good on the greens. Your approach shots have to be pretty spot on just because there is a lot of roll and it's hard contours on the greens.
"I feel like Shadow Creek weighs up to kind of a major championship golf course. It's a really great golf course and it's just going to be really fun to play this week with how the conditions are. I think maybe the wind is going to be up a little bit so that's going to add another element to it."
Also looking to capture the title this week in Nevada is South Korean World No. 3. Hyo Joo Kim, who has produced sparkling form this year with wins in her last two LPGA Tour starts and is a previous two-time winner of her home PIF Global Series event in Seoul. The field also includes New Zealand's Olympic gold medallist Lydia Ko and rising British star Lottie Woad.
The PIF Global Series comprises five elite events across the Ladies European Tour, the season opening with the PIF Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh in February followed by the Aramco Championship in Las Vegas with events in other golfing powerhouse markets – London, Seoul and Shenzhen – to follow.
Golf Saudi’s approach is a commitment to giving the world’s best players an elevated platform on which to showcase their skills as well as introducing newcomers to the sport with clinics and activations on site of the kind Shadow Creek will see this week. There are also discussion panels and initiatives highlighting how Golf Saudi acts as a cultural, sporting and economic bridge as part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy.
