Tony Jesselli has posted his Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic preview at his site (just click the link to see it) so I won't duplicate his work. I think the most important thing to note is just how few of the top players are planning to make appearances. I suspect many of them plan to start their season in New Zealand at:
- the ISPS Handa New Zealand Women’s Open (Jan 31st - Feb 2nd), followed by
- the Volvik Racy Australian Masters (Feb 6th - 9th), both LET events.
However, that means a number of players will have a chance to get a jump on the others. To me, the most notable of the missing players are (numbers in parentheses are their Rolex Rankings):
- Inbee Park (1)
- So Yeon Ryu (5)
- Shanshan Feng (6)
- Suzann Pettersen (2) -- UPDATE: Suzann is NOT playing because she says she's worn out
- Stacy Lewis (3)
- Lydia Ko (4)
- Paula Creamer (13)
GC plans to begin broadcasts at 11:30am ET Thursday, which almost certainly means live golf. Plus they plan a 3-hour broadcast, which is a nice way to get the season started. This tournament may give us a good indication of how tight the battle for #1 will be in 2014.
I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to some women's golf!
