Who is playing, and what is the format of the 2023 Kroger Queen City Championship?

One of the many players who are likely to comprise the field this year, is Charley Hull, the US Women’s Open runner-up, and the AIG Open Championship will see her showcase her masterclass gameplay this year. She currently tops the power ranking list as well.

Alongside her will be Ally Ewing, who will defend her title as she triumphed in this same tournament in 2022. Another one to notice is Rose Zhang; she is an uprising golfer and had four top 10 finishes this year, which included two majors, the US Women’s Open and the Amundi Evian Championship.

But the event will miss out on popular names like Nelly Korda and Celine Boutier. The format this year will stay the same as last year. It will be a 72-hole stroke play event, and a cut after the first leg of the event finishes (which is after the second round) will get you into the top 65. While the scenario might easily divert a golfer, the popular Kendale layout is a tough field to tackle.

As the game commences today, the fight for the title and the winner’s payout is fast approaching. And with how high the stakes are, it is bound to be an interesting showdown!
