Australian Hannah Green is part of an all-star group of major champions for the opening round of the LPGA Tour Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship in California starting Friday morning AEDT.

Making her first start since her stunning victory at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore that propelled her back inside the top 20 of the Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking, Green features prominently among the marquee groups.

The 2019 KPMG Women's PGA champion has been drawn to play with 2021 Women's PGA champion Nelly Korda and two-time major winner Brooke Henderson of Canada.

Looking to lock down a second straight Olympic representation in Paris in August, Green headlines a strong Aussie contingent.

World No.5 Minjee Lee is the only full-time Aussie LPGA Tour player not in the field this week, West Australian Hira Naveed to make her debut as a member of the tour after obtaining her card at LPGA Q-Series late last year.

A four-time All-WCC first team pick (the 12th in program history) and a 2019 All-American at Pepperdine University, Naveed had four top-10 finishes on the Epson Tour in 2023 and shot 65 in the final round at Q Series to finish 15th.

Elsewhere this week, the top six finishers from last year’s Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit have the chance to become more permanent members of the DP World Tour at the Porsche Singapore Classic.

With 2022/2023 Order of Merit winner David Micheluzzi exempt through a separate category, the top five Order of Merit finishers not otherwise exempt were eligible to enter. Tom Power Horan, Andrew Martin, John Lyras, Michael Hendry and Deyen Lawson have all taken up the opportunity just a week after the 2023/2024 season drew to a close at The National Tournament.

The only place to watch our Aussies in action around the world is on Fox Sports, through Foxtel and Kayo.
