GB and Ireland Curtis Cup members Charlotte Heath, Caley McGinty and Hannah Darling all take part, while Sweden’s Ingrid Lindblad will look to build on top-three finishes in the last two editions of the event.
The first 36 holes are played on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club on Wednesday and Thursday, with the entire field then getting to play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday.
Only the top 30 and ties from the first two days make the cut and get to feature in the final round, which also takes place at Augusta National and on the same course where The Masters will take the following week.
