Twenty of the world's top 25 players are competing in the Fortinet Founders Cup, the LPGA Tour's first full-field event of the season. The tournament honors the tour's founding members and consistently attracts top-ranked players.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand and No. 2 Nelly Korda of the United States are both in the field. Korda, who skipped all three Asian Swing events, is making her second appearance since the season opener.

Both players are naturally included in the four "featured groups" highlighted on the LPGA website. Korean-American players will compete alongside the top two ranked golfers. Lydia Ko of New Zealand joins Thitikul's group, while defending champion Rose Zhang pairs with Korda.
