A new tournament pairing 16 players from the LPGA and PGA has been announced. Sounds like this will be the spiritual descendant of the old JC Penney Classic, which was last played in 1999. So, who knows how many top PGA players will actually show up, although I think at one point Tiger played the JC Penney teamed with fellow Nike player Kelli Kuehne (remember her?). So you never know. It looks like it will be one guy-one woman teams. In 1999, Se Ri was the only Korean in the field. I suspect we'll get a couple this time, if only to entice Tom Kim and company to show up.

Don't know if any Koreans were asked, but there are no Koreans in the field for this. In fact, only three players who are not qualified for the Solheim: Lydia Ko, Henderson and Ruoning Yin. And I'm not sure any of them should count; like, no way they weren't going to invite Lydia or Henderson! So yeah, that means no Thais or Japanese either. Grant Thornton Invitational Field(Yes, it's not at a great time of year for the Asian players, BUT... at the least they could explain how this 'invitational' field was composed and whether these players were given due consideration).
