The weather has been a matter of concern for the 2024 golf season so far, especially with the PGA Tour events. Events such as the WM Phoenix Open, Puerto Rico Open, and Valspar Championship became victims of poor weather. With the weather gods cursing the PGA Tour, will it extend to the sister tour as well for the coming weekend?

The Ford Championship presented by KCC on the LPGA Tour is just around the corner. The event is scheduled for March 28–31 at Seville Golf & Country Club, with a field of 144 players. The golf course offers terrific views and challenging play for golfers. Names like Lilia Vu, world No. 1 Nelly Korda, and others will be competing for a $2 million purse. With Korda coming fresh from two consecutive wins in her last two appearances, all the eyes will surely be on her. Will her and others performance be hindered by the weather? 

The weather is expected to be clear on the first two days 

A lot of factors affect how the ball travels on the course, like temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. The golfers need to pay attention to these factors before hitting the ball. According to the weather forecast by AccuWeather, on the game’s first day, the morning will start at 24° with an ESE 11 km/h wind speed and humidity levels of 41%.

Later, with a slight increase in the temperature, it will rest at 28° with partly cloudy skies. There will be 29% humidity in the air, with a wind speed of SSE 13 km/h; however, by the night, the temperature will fall to be around 19°W, with an increased humidity level of 36%.
