Once again this fall, an exclusive field of the world’s top 20 players will converge at Half Moon Bay Golf Links to contest the 28th edition of the Championship. Players will be vying for the largest purse in event history - $1,000,000. Not without rhyme or reason did four-time major championship Laura Davies call the Samsung World Championship the fifth major on the LPGA tour. “Just to get in means you’ve had a great year,” she said. “It brings the best of the best together and anytime you beat the best players, it’s a feather in your cap.”
