JEDDAH: American sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda are heading to Spain for the first time, with both confirmed for next month鈥檚 $1 million Aramco Team Series Sotogrande.

The siblings will tee off in front of their maiden Spanish crowd at La Reserva Club, Aug. 18-20, in what will be their second Aramco Team Series event presented by the Public Investment Fund.

Both Nelly and Jessica were part of history when they played in last year鈥檚 debut Aramco Team Series New York, the first-ever Ladies European Tour event to be played on US soil.

For older sister Jessica 鈥� a six-time LPGA-winner 鈥� that was just the start of a history-making week, as she captained her team to victory in the event鈥檚 unique four-ball format.

Former world No. 1 and US Olympic gold medalist Nelly was one shot shy of bagging the same tournament鈥檚 concurrent solo contest. 

Now, both will return to battle it out against the biggest and best names on the Ladies European Tour under the Sotogrande sun this summer.

鈥淚鈥檓 so excited to be heading to play in Spain for the first time,鈥� said major-winner Nelly, currently ranked world No. 3.

鈥淚t鈥檒l actually be my first ever time visiting Spain, so I鈥檓 really looking forward to getting there and seeing and experiencing what I鈥檝e always imagined to be this amazing culture. The golf course at La Reserva looks incredible too so it should be a great week.

鈥淛ess and I both played in the Aramco Team Series event in New York last year and loved the format. It鈥檚 something different having the separate team-individual formats going on at the same time which is fun,鈥� she continued. 鈥淲ith the Solheim Cup taking place just round the corner from Sotogrande next year, this will also be the perfect opportunity for me and some of the other Americans in the field to get a bit of a lay of the land and a feel for playing in Spain, with the hope of being back there 12 months later. I鈥檓 excited to get out there and can鈥檛 wait to see what Sotogrande has in store for us.鈥�

Jessica 鈥� who has finished in the top 10 in all five women鈥檚 majors 鈥� said: 鈥淣ew York鈥檚 Aramco Team Series was a great event. Having won the team side of it was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to getting a chance to play that same format again.

鈥淚鈥檝e never actually played in Spain 鈥� this will be my first time. Spain has had such a massive influence on golf, from big name players like Seve (Ballesteros), Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm to Carlota Ciganda and the many Spanish girls making an impact on both the LPGA and LET.

鈥淭he Spanish fans are known to have some fiery passion too, so I can鈥檛 wait to tee it up in front of them for what should be a pretty special atmosphere in Sotogrande.鈥�

The pair will be joined by a host of big-name Spanish golfers, including Solheim Cup hero Ciganda, rising talent Ana Pelaez Trivino, Nuria Iturrioz and Carmen Alonso, as part of a field packed with global stars, more of whom will be announced in due course.
