Highlights | Round 3 | Grant Thornton Invitational | 2023

Check out the best shots of the day from Round 3 at the 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational, featuring Jason Day, Lydia Ko, Rickie Fowler and Tony Finau, among others.


The PGA TOUR heads to Naples, Florida this week for the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational at Tiburón Golf Club. This marks the first co-sanctioned event between the LPGA and PGA TOUR since 1999 as the 32-player field will split into 16 mixed teams and compete for an equal purse. The tournament’s field includes 24 of the top 50 in the world from the PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour. Rickie Fowler will be playing with Lexi Thompson this week. Fowler returned to the TOUR winner’s circle this year for the first time since 2019 alongside making the Ryder Cup team. Thompson nearly made the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open on the PGA TOUR this fall and ended her LPGA season with three straight top-10s. Charley Hull will be playing with Justin Rose this week in an all-English pairing. Hull was part of the European Solheim Cup team that retained the trophy, while she had an impressive four runner-up finishes in 2023. Rose won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, had five top-10s and was a leader on the winning European Ryder Cup team. Tony Finau is paired with Nelly Korda this week. This year, Korda had nine LPGA top-10s and won on the Ladies European Tour. Finau won twice on the PGA TOUR this season. Other pairs to look out for are Ludvig Åberg and Madelene Sagström, Lydia Ko and Jason Day and Leona Maguire and Lucas Glover.

such a great format! Please make this an annual event!

[Duckoff]

This should be done every year and sanctioned by both tours. I would love to see tournament where they play together women and men with adjusted tees. Would be amazing event. These women are so dang good and should be showcased.

Jason is so solid and Lydia was so clutch on some key shots. Overall, really impressed with this format. Well done

[funnygazman]

Can someone please take this to the International Olympic Committee and put this format in the Olympics?!?!? It’s perfect for it and would make a gold medal unique and special for the sport.

Loved this tournament, hope to see it every year and hopefully more tournaments with PGA/LPGA teams. Great demonstration of the ultimate skill level.

Downunder defeated The Great White North! What a thrilling finish. We want more of this format, please! LPGA players played just as good as the male sides!

The best tournament I've watched. On par with Ryder cup.

[sonic]

Seeing Jason Day winning again is so nostalgic for me, it's like I'm back in 2015

[michaelbarton]

How about Brooke's bunker play!!! Great play by both Brooke and Corey... so close! But if they had to lose, it couldn't have been to two nicer folks than Lydia and Jason. So nice to see all four of them in such fine form. This should be a staple crossover tournament every year. Great golf, great fun.

I enjoyed it. Only thing was when they switched to NBC there were too many commercials.

[richardbrown]

Lived in Naples for more than 7 years and watched all the tournaments played on this course.

[Revheadrev]

I actually don’t mind this format - good stuff.

[LucoMcc]
