The LPGA Tour recently posted some snaps from the ongoing T-Mobile Match Play event featuring Nelly Korda, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, and Ina Yoon. The tournament will run throughout the week at the Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas.

The four-picture carousel Instagram post was headlined by defending champion Korda smiling widely. The next photos saw a focused Hull walking across the course, followed by Ko caught mid-action, and a shot of Yoon's golf swing.

The caption of the post read:

"The vibes are high in Vegas"

The LPGA T-Mobile Match Play has a unique pool-based format. The event has a 64 golfer field that has been divided into 16 groups of four. All the golfers within a group will go against each other. The player with the best head-to-head scores will advance to the knockouts.

The quarterfinals of the event will take place on Saturday with the semifinals and finals scheduled to be held on Sunday. The winner will get to take home $300,000 out of the $2M prize purse. The event also has 500 CME points.
