Nelly Korda, Jin Young Ko headline LPGA season opener at Lake Nona that’s missing six of the top 10 (including No. 1 Lydia Ko)

The field for the 2023 Hilton Grand Tournament of Champions might answer some early questions about the upcoming season. Jin Young Ko, who was plagued with a serious wrist injury late last year, will make her debut in the event Jan. 19-22, while Nelly Korda looks to continue the momentum found at the end of last year.

The field of 30, however, will be missing some big names, too. After entries closed on Tuesday evening, current World No. 1 Lydia Ko was not listed in the field. Ko, who is still on her honeymoon after her Dec. 30 wedding, has a home at Lake Nona, where the event is now played. Earlier on Tuesday, the Aramco Saudi Ladies International announced that Ko was confirmed for the mid-February event, where it looks like she will begin her 2023 season.
