The LPGA Tour returns after a two-week break following the cancellation of the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship after the event underwriter failed to fulfil its payment obligations.
The Ford Championship is the first LPGA event back Stateside since early February after three weeks in Asia, and it sees a very strong field assembled at Whirlwind Golf Club, just south of Phoenix, Arizona.
Nelly Korda defends the title she won at last year's inaugural event at Seville Golf and Country Club, which was her third consecutive LPGA Tour title, as 19 of the world's top 20 players tee it up.
The purse remains the same this year, with $337,500 going to the champion from the $2.25m total pot. The top four finishers will all take home six-figure payouts.
As well as the cash prize, the victor will pick up 500 Race To CME Globe points and points in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.
