The format sees 36 teams of four, made up of three professionals and one amateur, compete over 54 holes per tournament.

Aramco Team Series London
Some big names in the sport have already confirmed their participation for the third event with Nelly Korda, Georgia Hall and Charley Hull featuring at the Centurion Club on 3rd July.
The remaining two events include Asia (4th - 6th October) and Saudi Arabia (31st October - 2 November).
Despite Nelly Korda's success, she is levelheaded, and keen to ensure she can use her profile to inspire more young girls to take up golf.
“It is inspiring to be in a position to have a positive influence on the game.
“Making an impact on the next generation is something that is important to me. I try to inspire young girls and boys to encourage them to pick up a golf club for the first time - and the Aramco Team Series is a big part of that, as I’ve seen first-hand how their initiatives can have such a positive impact on the next generation.”
Matt joined Golf Monthly in February 2021 covering weekend news, before also transitioning to equipment and testing. After freelancing for Golf Monthly and The PGA for 18 months, he was offered a full-time position at the company in October 2022 and continues to cover weekend news and social media, as well as help look after Golf Monthly’s many buyers’ guides and equipment reviews.
Taking up the game when he was just seven years of age, Matt made it into his county squad just a year later and continues to play the game at a high standard, with a handicap of around 2-4. To date, his best round came in 2016, where he shot a six-under-par 66 having been seven-under through nine holes. He currently plays at Witney Lakes in Oxfordshire and his favourite player is Rory McIlroy, despite nearly being struck by his second shot at the 17th during the 2015 BMW PGA Championship.
