SINGAPORE (Reuters) - World number one Lorena Ochoa will headline the inaugural $2 million HSBC Women's Champions tournament in Singapore next month, organizers said on Friday.
Mexican Ochoa, who has garnered 17 wins on the LPGA Tour and won the last two Player of the Year awards, said the LPGA-sanctioned event gave her the chance to kick off the 2008 season in style.
"I am excited about playing in Singapore for the first time and I think the HSBC Women's Champions will be a great event on the LPGA Tour," Ochoa said in a news release.
"I have heard lots of good things about the Garden Course and I am very keen to get my 2008 season off to a strong start so I hope I can put in a good performance next month."
