Ai Miyazato of Japan, Crisite Kerr of America, South Korean Jiyai Shin, Yani Tseng of Chinese Taipei, and Norwegian Suzann Pettersen, all listed in order of rank, have each confirmed their entry into the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia.
This is the first year for the US$1.8 million purse event on the LPGA Tour and there will be no cuts throughout the tournament which runs from October 22-24.
Miyazato recently reclaimed her world No.1 status after winning the LPGA Safeway Classic last month and leads the race for the Rolex Player of the Year award.
21-year-old Tseng is the youngest player in LPGA history to capture three major championships which includes this year’s Kraft Nabisco Championship, the RICOH Women’s British Open and her 2008 LPGA Championship she won at 18-years-old. Tseng was recently reported as saying she aims to become the world’s No. 1 golfer and with a win at Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia, she will certainly improve her chances of doing just that.
