Rose Zhang has taken the women’s game by storm since turning pro earlier this year, grabbing a win at the Mizuho Americas Open in her first professional start and finishing inside the top 10 of three of the four major championships she played in after leaving the amateur game behind.
Sahith Theegala has yet to enter the winner’s circle, but thanks to his infectious personality and appearance on Full Swing, the Pepperdine product has quickly become a fan favorite on the PGA Tour.
The two young stars will be teaming up this winter at the PGA Tour-LPGA co-sanctioned event at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, the Grant Thornton Invitational.
Other teams have already been announced, including Tony Finau/Nelly Korda, Rickie Fowler/Jessica Korda and Corey Conners/Brooke Henderson.
The three-day event will be held Friday, Dec. 8 through Sunday, Dec. 10
