Suzann Pettersen is set to make her second return to professional golf at the Aramco Korea Championship, marking her first competitive appearance since retiring in 2019. The Norwegian golfer, now 45, famously retired after sinking the winning putt for Team Europe in the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles seven years ago.

Having previously played in the Aramco Team Series event in Jeddah in 2022, Pettersen is eager to test her game in Asia as her children grow older, providing her with more time to pursue her passion for golf. She stated, "I have nothing to prove to myself. I'm just doing this because I love the game."

In her own words, Pettersen expressed her curiosity about her current form, saying, "I've been playing and practising quite a bit at home. Nothing close to playing competitions."

While she is eligible for the Legends of the LPGA and upcoming women’s senior major championships, Pettersen clarified that she does not intend to return to a full schedule. She mentioned, "I could ideally see myself playing five or six events a year," emphasizing her desire to keep the game alive in her routine.

In the opening round at New Korea Country Club, Pettersen will compete alongside Alexandra Försterling and Emily Kristine Pedersen. Since stepping back from playing, she has also taken on leadership roles, managing two Solheim Cup campaigns, including a trophy-retaining draw in Spain in 2023 and a narrow defeat in the United States the following year.
