The women are on the verge of closing out the 2021 season. This week's Pelican Women's Championship is the penultimate event.
This is only the second year for this event. Sei Young Kim won the inaugural playing by three shots at -14. The Pelican Golf Club in Florida is a par-70 measuring 6268 yards, which should be gettable for all the ladies this week. And with the need to make the Top60 and ties to get in the final event next week, there should be some serious jockeying for position.
I suppose the big thing this week will be the Player of the Year race. Jin Young Ko leads with 176 points while Nelly Korda (who just regained her #1 position on the Rolex Rankings) is in second place with 161 points. The victor this week gets 30 points so Nelly really needs a win if she hopes to stop the Jin Young train. If Jin Young wins, she'll lock up the POY race Sunday.
GC's three hours of live coverage begin Thursday morning at 10am ET. Expect some tough competition this week!
