The star-studded list of pairings for the LPGA and PGA Tour’s revived mixed team event is finally here. 

For the first time since the 1999 JC Penney Classic, the two tours will merge for one week and compete for a shared $4 million purse. The Grant Thornton Invitational is Dec. 8-10 at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla. 

The teams of Nelly Korda/Tony Finau and Jessica Korda/Rickie Fowler were some of the first pairings to be announced, but the elder Korda’s pregnancy has taken her out of the event. Fowler will instead team up with fellow Cobra-Puma athlete Lexi Thompson, who made waves earlier this month in Las Vegas when she nearly made the cut at a PGA Tour event

Other notable teams include the all-England duo of Charley Hull and Justin Rose. Both Rose and Hull represented Team Europe on winning Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup teams this fall. Ludvig Aberg and Madelene Sagstrom, who both hail from Sweden, also appeared on the victorious European teams. Aberg’s caddie Jack Clarke is engaged to Sagstrom. 

There are 11 major champions in the field of 32, including all five major winners from the 2023 LPGA season.

Check out all 16 teams:

Nelly Korda / Tony Finau

Lexi Thompson / Rickie Fowler

Lilia Vu / Joel Dahmen

Brooke Henderson / Corey Conners

Rose Zhang / Sahith Theegala

Charley Hull / Justin Rose

Megan Khang / Denny McCarthy

Lydia Ko / Jason Day

Andrea Lee / Billy Horschel

Mel Reid / Russell Henley

Cheyenne Knight / Tom Hoge

Madelene Sagstrom / Ludvig Aberg

Allisen Corpuz / Cameron Champ

During the three-day event, the pairs will play foursomes, modified four-ball and a scramble to determine the champion.
