Field Breakdown: 2025 Grant Thornton Invitational

Jake Knapp and Patty Tavatanakit

NAPLES, Fla. — The Grant Thornton Invitational is being held this week at Tiburón Golf Club, just a few weeks after the LPGA wrapped its 2025 season at the venue, and 16 teams comprised of one LPGA Tour and one PGA Tour athlete will once again be duking it out for a share of a $4 million purse in Naples, Fla. The partnerships for the 2025 edition of the mixed-gender event feature a few returning teams, including 2023 winners Lydia Ko and Jason Day and 2024 winners Patty Tavatanakit and Jake Knapp, but there are some new duos in the field, like Lottie Woad and Luke Clanton and Maja Stark and Neal Shipley.
