The Shriners Children’s Open takes place at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas as the PGA Tour’s FedEx Fall schedule continues.

Until recently, it had looked as though the majority of the attention would be on defending champion Tom Kim, who is also the highest-ranked player in this year’s field at World No.16.

While there will still be plenty of interest over whether the South Korean can claim his third PGA Tour title, much of the focus will inevitably be on LPGA Tour star Lexi Thompson, who becomes only the fifth woman in the modern era to compete on the Tour.

Thompson was confirmed for her first PGA Tour start earlier in the month, and there will be some expectation that she will perform well too, having recovered from a barren run of results to record top-10 finishes in her last two LPGA Tour outings, most recently with fifth in the Ascendant LPGA Benefiting Volunteers of America.

Other notable names in the field include several former winners of the tournament aside from Kim. Among them are two-time victor Martin Laird, who last won the title in 2020, Ben Martin, who won the title six years before him and 2013 champion Webb Simpson.

Last week, Luke List denied Ryder Cup hero Ludvig Aberg his first PGA Tour victory when he dropped a huge putt to come through a five-man playoff in the Sanderson Farms Championship.

List will be hoping to continue that momentum as he goes in search of his third PGA Tour win, while Aberg will also appear hoping to add to his victory in the Omega European Masters on the DP World Tour for his second professional win.

Argentinian Emiliano Grillo won his first PGA Tour event in eight years in May’s Charles Schwab Challenge and as the second-highest ranked player in the field, he’ll be hoping for more success this week, as will the player five places beneath him in the world rankings, Si Woo Kim, who is currently ranked 40th.

Other players in the top 50 competing this week are Adam Schenk, JT Poston, Cam Davis, Nick Taylor and Tom Hoge.

Players are competing for a purse of $8.4m, of which the winner will claim $1.512m.

Below is the full prize money breakdown and field for the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin.
