The first two rounds will take place on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club on March 31 and Thursday, April 1. The entire field will then play Augusta National for an official practice round on April 2.

Melton will be the first player to tee off, kicking off the tournament at 7:45 a.m. with Abdulghany at 9:24 a.m. and Corpuz at 11 a.m. Garvey is off at 11:33 a.m., Brianna Navarrosa at 12:06 p.m. and Nam at 12:39 p.m.

Corpuz and Abdulghany both played in the inaugural event (along with former Trojan Jennifer Chang) in 2019 while Corpuz, Garvey, Melton, Navarrosa and Nam were set to play in the 2020 event before its cancellation due to Covid. Melton was also set to play in 2019 but had to bow out due to an injury.
In 2019, Corpuz made the 36-hole cut at 3-over 147 (75-72) and ultimately tied for 17th at 3-over 219 (75-72-72).
