The captain of each team chooses one player in a pre-tournament draft system, with another professional being selected at random.

An amateur then makes up the quartet, with prize money for the winning team being split between its three professional members.

The format for the events are simply who can shoot the lowest combined score over the three days of golf.

In addition to the team competition, professional players compete for the lowest individual score.

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.”
