The Ladies European Tour's Aramco Team Series, presented by PIF, will bring a host of Spanish stars back to the Costa del Sol this summer, when the third of its five million-dollar tournaments returns to Sotogrande from August 18-20.
After three exciting days at the Aramco Team Series – London, the Series now focuses on the southern coast of Spain, where the world's golf superstars will battle it out for the second year running in a fitting setting, the sensational Club La Reserva, Sotogrande.
The inaugural edition in 2021 attracted many of the biggest names in women's golf, including Major winners and Solheim Cup stars Paula Creamer and Lizette Salas; plus the English trio of Georgia Hall, Charley Hull and Bronte Law, whose three-way battle at Centurion last weekend brought the ATS London to an epic finish, with Law sinking a 15-meter putt to win.
While the big international names have not yet been revealed, the Aramco Team Series can announce today some of the most popular Spanish stars who will face off both in teams and individually to compete for a share of the million dollars, from August 18-20.
The team will be led by Carlota Ciganda, five-time Solheim Cup champion and the highest-ranked Spanish golfer, who will try to put on a good performance at home, on a golf course located just 20 km from Finca Cortesín, the venue for the 2023 Solheim Cup.
Alongside the eight-time Tour champion will play the LET favorites Nuria Iturrioz (Mallorca), María Hernández (Pamplona), Carmen Alonso (Valladolid), Paz Marfa Sans (Barcelona), Elena Hualde (Pamplona), Elia Folch (Barcelona), Harang Lee (Bilbao), Luna Sobrón Galmes (Mallorca), Marta Martín (Madrid) and Marta Pérez (Valencia).
And alongside them will be the breakout star and local heroine, Ana Peláez Triviño from Malaga, champion of the Madrid Women's Open 2022, who turned professional just a year ago in the debut of the ATS – Sotogrande.
Peláez Triviño commented that “playing another Ladies European Tour event in Spain is going to be something really special, especially since it's the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande, the tournament where I made my professional debut last year.”.
«"I have many incredible memories of that week, from playing alongside many of the golfers I admired since I was little, to the incredible support that I and all the Spanish players felt from the fans who came in great numbers to see and be part of a great weekend at La Reserva, where the golf course was spectacular.
«"On a personal level, I've had almost the year of my dreams since playing the ATS - Sotogrande: from returning to the United States to compete, to being invited to play in the Madrid Ladies Open and winning that tournament, to achieving good results in the Aramco Team Series events in Bangkok and London - it's been crazy! I can't wait to finish in Sotogrande in August.".
The Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande will be the third of five $1 million Aramco Team Series tournaments on this season's LET schedule, following the first tournament in Bangkok in May and last week's event in London. Sotogrande will be followed by the ATS events in New York and Jeddah, all featuring a unique format in which three LET professionals team up with one amateur player.
