Howdy Houston! The Ladies European Tour Touched Down in Texas—Here's What to Watch For

Missing pro golf? Well the Ladies European Tour has you covered. This week, a few of the stars in women's golf make their return to competition.

Who's in the Field?

While the LPGA is on a break this week, a few familiar faces have entered the field of 104 professionals—including Charley Hull, who returns to competition after a freak accident involving a curb.

Allow me—well Charley, to explain.

Last month while Hull was getting practice in at Centurion Club, she had a bit of a tricky time in the parking lot. "Coming out of the locker room, I had a skip in my step because I love practicing," explained Hull ahead of the PIF London Championship.

"But then I fell over a curb in the car park and was lying on the floor shouting for my boyfriend to come get me. The security guard was watching me, and I heard my ankle pop. I thought I broke it. Someone picked me up and put me in the car. I went down so quickly, I nearly fainted. I was not sure if I was overreacting. I started moving my ankle and it’s nowhere near as bad as I thought."

First it was the virus that took her out at Evian, and now this insanely random ankle injury that took her out for nearly a month—you have to feel for her—she can't catch a break. But Hull said it herself, she's naturally clumsy.

“I don’t do it on purpose. I’m naturally clumsy. My sister is the clumsiest person I know, and I used to make fun of her for it. I fell over in the middle of the road about two years ago. It runs in my dad’s genes.”

But moon boot be damned, she's back and ready to take on the competition.

Another player making her return to the competitive world is recent Tour mama, Alison Lee who welcomed her son earlier this year.

Lee is a two-time winner on the LET, both in previous Aramco Series events. She's still in search of a maiden LPGA title.

What's the format?

The event includes a 36-hole team format, as well as a 54-hole Individual stroke play competition, with a cut to the top 60 and ties.

The $2 million purse will be split, with $500,000 up for grabs in the team competition and $1.5 million for the individual portion.

Where are they playing?

Play is being contested at Golfcrest Country Club in Pearland, Texas. It was built in 1927 and designed by Joseph Finger.

How you can tune in.

For U.S. fans—you can watch the tournament on the NBC Sports App beginning on Friday, September 5 at 2pm ET.
