The LPGA Tour is underway in Korea, and the next stop for golf enthusiasts will be the Hanwha LIFEPLUS International Crown 2025. The tournament will commence on October 23 and will end on October 26. There will be eight teams with four players on each team, trying to emerge as the best from the lot. Incidentally, these teams were selected on the basis of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings on August 4. But where will it be held?

But before we go there, here’s how things will be. For the first seven teams, top four ranked golfers from each country featured in the event. However, for the eighth team, i.e the No. 7 World Team, things are a bit different. The team is made up of four players from countries that didn’t have enough athletes eligible to field a full team. Top golfers from the Americas, Europe/Middle East, Asia, and Africa/Oceania, will battle it out in the middle.
