Last year’s winner, Mimi Rhodes, is not in the field this week due to her playing in the LPGA Tour event – the HSBC Women’s World Championship – in Singapore.

Another name to watch this week is Thailand’s Trichat Cheenglab. She looks to build off of a successful season with a team win at the Aramco China Championship and multiple top ten finishes on tour last season. She also finished 23rd on the LET’s Order of Merit.
