Apart from the big names, the Thai event will also see four rookies in contention. Jaravee Boonchant, Natthakritta Vongtaveelap, Chanettee Wannasaen and Arpichaya Yubol will all be on the pitch owing to sponsor exemptions. Reigning U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Saki Baba is another special name on the field.
Meanwhile, some of LPGA’s notable names are missing from the field as well. Players like Lexi Thompson and 2018 winner Jessica Korda will be watching the tournament from the sidelines.
