Of her six LPGA titles, Kang’s threeshot win was the largest of her career. … Karrie Webb, the only LPGA tour player with the “Super Slam” of five different majors, is in the field. It’s her first LPGA event since the Pelican Women’s Championship in November 2020. … Jin Young Ko, the LPGA player of the year, is not playing for the second straight week. She is likely to start her season in Singapore. … Lexi Thompson makes her 2022 debut. She was not eligible for the Tournament of Champions.
