The 54-hole competition is a mixed-team event that sees 16 LPGA Tour and 16 PGA Tour professionals compete together in a unique co-sanctioned tournament.
The three-day tournament offers three different formats of team play and allows the 32-player field to compete for equal prize money and visibility.
It is the second successive year the tournament has featured on the schedule, having been launched in 2023 as the first co-sanctioned event between the LPGA Tour and PGA Tour since the JCPenney Classic in 1999.
Friday’s action is played under as a scramble, where each player hits a tee shot and then the team selects which ball to be used for the next shot. Both players hit their next shots from that spot and the process continues until the ball is holed.
The second round uses foursomes, with each team’s players alternating hitting shots with the same ball until the ball is holed. One player will tee off on the odd-numbered holes and the other tees off on the even-numbered holes.
Sunday’s final round is then played under a modified fourball, where both players tee off and switch balls for their second shots. They then play that same ball until it is holed, with the lowest score between the pair then counting as the team score for that hole.
