Defending champion Tom Kim, LPGA star Lexi Thompson highlight 2023 Shriners Children’s Open field

In a few days, the PGA Tour will leave Jackson, Mississippi, and the Sanderson Farms Championship behind for the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

Defending champion Tom Kim returns in an effort to go back-to-back, and he’ll be joined in the field by European Ryder Cupper Ludvig Aberg, Akshay Bhatia, Cam Davis and Webb Simpson.

The highlight of the field, however, is LPGA star Lexi Thompson. The 25th-ranked player in the world, fresh off a Solheim Cup appearance, will tee it up alongside the boys next week on a sponsor exemption.

Here’s the full field for the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open.

Five players that made it to the TOUR Championship, including defending champion Tom Kim, are committed to the Shriners Children’s Open.

Lexi Thompson will make her PGA TOUR debut and become the seventh woman to compete on TOUR.
