Currently five of the Top-10 ranked players in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) have committed to play in “The People’s Open”. “The 2021 field is shaping up to be one of the best ever,” Jenkins said. “Nearly half of the Top-50 golfers in the world are coming to our event and represent Major championship winners, FedExCup winners and some of the most recognizable and talented players in the world.
