The ANA Inspiration starts today despite the fires and hot weather... but without its defending champion.
Jin Young Ko hasn't played any LPGA events in 2020, choosing instead to play a few KLPGA events while she stays home in Korea. So this week will see a new champion.
That won't stop a lot of the top players from showing up. Sung Hyun Park is making her 2020 debut on the LPGA and, counting her, that's eight of the Rolex Top10 who will tee it up this week.
And the course they'll see is different from what they're used to. They'll play Bermuda grass instead of a rye overseed and the weather is expected to hit 108°F by Sunday, meaning this course will be hard and fast. It also means the ladies will be tested like they are rarely tested at a tournament.
GC is giving us live coverage twice today -- the first at 12-4pm ET, the second at 7-9pm ET. Should be an interesting week!
