The USD 800,000 Swinging Skirts 2013 World Ladies Masters continues to be a co-sanctioned event by both KLPGT and Taiwan’s TLPGA this year, featuring the strongest field in any golf tournaments in Taiwan. The elite competition will start with a pro-am tournament on Wednesday, followed by 18 holes of celebrity charity Skins Game. Official 54-hole stroke-play will start on Thursday. Yani Tseng, who was forced to pull out from last year’s competition due to shoulder injury, attended today’s star player arrival press conference along with newly crowned LPGA Player of the Year Inbee Park, Na Yeon Choi, So Yeon Ryu, Paula Creamer and Ha Na Jang. The star players all marveled at the ingenuity and creativity associated with the 18 holes of installation art, and can’t wait to play golf while being surrounded by art. Yani prefers to let her clubs do the talking Yani, who has recently been named as one of the top 10 most popular athletes in Asia, said she felt good after undergoing hernia surgery in late October, “I had lots of fun doing on-course commentating last year. But honestly, I prefer to let my clubs do the talking instead of my mouth. I hope I won’t let my fans down this time.”Meanwhile, Inbee Park, who has not played in Taiwan in more than one year, is undoubtedly the hottest player in golf this year, having amassing 6 LPGA wins including 3 majors in 2013. This also marks her first appearance as world no. 1 player in Taiwan. The immensely popular Na Yeon Choi is looking forward to the “Meet the stars” session arranged by the organizers, hoping to meet the demands of her army of fans and autograph seekers. Choi is not only the defending champion this week, she is hoping to pick up her first win of the season. LPGA star players amazed at installation art and white china trophy Swinging Skirts Golf Team chairman Johnson Wang said, “ on behalf of the organizers, I would like to cordially welcome world’s elite players to come to Taiwan to play in our tournament. This year we have set another world record and invited Insian Gallery’s contracted artist Hung Yi to design 18 holes of installation art pieces to be placed at the Miramar G&C during the tournament. We hope the players and fans will take time to appreciate them” At today’s press conference, organizers also displayed some of these installation art, as all six star players posed with symbolic renderings of the installation art for photographs. The star players are especially interested in the art theme of “Girls undergoing 18 changes before reaching adulthood”, as well as the connection with golf. Meanwhile, organizers also unveiled the champion trophy designed by NewChi Company called “A Blaze” which made by white porcelain. This piece symbolized the high spirit and ambition as the blessing for winners whose shape varies as the horse, the cloud and the dragon, as well as the Chinese Calligraphy.
