West Palm Beach, Florida-Edward Waters freshman women's golfer and Women of Color Golf ambassador Leiahnni Smith had an incredible opportunity to represent EWU and WOCG at the Aramco Team Series Florida Pro-Am at the Trump International Golf Club on May 19th-21st. 

Smith played alongside fellow WOCG ambassador and Howard University women's golf team member Makenna Rodriguez, WOCG Advisory Board member Vasti Amaro, and Ladies European Tour professional Johanna Gustavsson at the event. 

The Aramco Team Series are professional women's golf events, which debuted on the Ladies European Tour in 2021. These unique team events – held in Singapore, London, Florida, and Riyadh – each carry a $1 million prize fund and are played with a brand-new never-before-seen format in golf.

Each event is contested by 36 teams of 4 players, consisting of 3 professionals and an amateur. The teams will be chosen via a draft system, with a team captain selecting 1 pro player and being randomly assigned another pro and an amateur.

Winning titles are available for the team with the combined lowest score and the player with the lowest individual score over three days of golf.

Smith was able to gain memorable experience with playing alongside a professional golfer and experiencing the pro golfing world up close and personal.
