It’s the 15th edition of the Fortinet Founders Cup where a top field will compete at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club in Menlo Park, Calif. The purse is $3 million with the winner taking home $450,000 for a victory. Yealimi Noh is the defending champion and Rose Zhang, the 2024 champion, is playing as well.
In all, 20 of the top 25 players in the world are in action, including Jeeno Thitikul (1) and Nelly Korda (2), each of whom have already won this season. Korda won the season-opener in Orlando and Thitikul won in her native Thailand.
