ADT Championship Preview

TOURNAMENT: ADT Championship

HOST COURSE: Trump International GC

PRIZE FUND: $1,550,00 Winner; $1,000,000

COURSE DETAILS: 6,506 yard par-72. Over $40 million dollars of Donald Trumps money has been spent on Trump International. The Jim Fazio design is a hilly course that is protected by enormous bunkers and water features.

KEY HOLE:The 215 yard par 3 17th is the signature hole on the international, water front and left of the green needs to be avoided.

The finale of the LPGA is upon us and it promises to be a spectacular event with a brand new format. The ADT Championship will offer the biggest winning prize ever on the LPGA of $1,000,000 and will be played in a brand new format. There will be two cuts, one after 36 holes which will reduce the 32 strong field to 16 and another after 54 holes which will leave eight players remaining. The final round will be played in four groups of two with all players starting again at level par, although it seems confusing the format should provide an exciting finish to the week. As expected a top field will be present with world number one and defending champion Annika Sorenstam (pictured) and Money List leader Lorena Ochoa starting as big favourites.

CONTENDERS: Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam, Karrie Webb
