Although Charley Hull played in last year's Ford Championship at Seville Golf and Country Club in Gilbert, Arizona, she withdrew after an opening round even-par 72 due to illness. Nelly Korda ultimately won the event by a two-shot margin. Korda, who is still the World No. 1, will attempt to defend her title this week.

Both Korda and Hull have only played two LPGA Tour events this year. Korda last played at the Founders Cup in Bradenton, Florida in early February. She finished tied for seventh in the event, nine shots behind winner Yealimi Noh, who is playing this week at the event.

Nelly Korda also played in the Hilton Grands Vacations Tournament of Champions the week before the Founders Cup. She finished in solo second place, two shots behind winner A-Lim Kim, who is also playing this week.

Charley Hull last played at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore at the beginning of March where she finished tied for fourth place, six shots behind winner Lydia Ko. Hull also played in the Founders Cup and finished tied for 19th.

Lydia Ko is also in the field for this week's Ford Championship and finished tied for 13th at the competition last year. Ko is currently the World No. 3 and has played in three LPGA Tour events this year. The three-time major champion last played in her win at the HSBC Women's World Championship in early March.

Ko won three times last year, claiming her third major title at the Women's British Open at the Old Course at St. Andrews.
