American superstar sisters Nelly and Jessica Korda are heading to Spain for the first time, with both confirmed for next month\u2019s $1million Aramco Team Series \u2013 Sotogrande<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The sibling pair will tee-it-up in front of their maiden Spanish crowd at La Reserva Club, August 18-20th<\/sup>, in what will be their second Aramco Team Series presented by PIF event.<\/p>\n

Both Nelly and Jessica were part of history when they played in last year\u2019s debut Aramco Team Series \u2013 New York, the first ever Ladies European Tour event to be played on U.S soil.\"\"<\/p>\n

And for older sister Jessica \u2013 a six-time LPGA-winner \u2013 that was just the start of a history-making week, as she captained her team to victory in the event\u2019s unique fourball format.<\/p>\n

Former world number one and US Olympic Gold medalist Nelly was one-shot shy of bagging the same tournament\u2019s concurrent solo contest.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so excited to be heading to play in Spain for the first time,\u201d said major-winner Nelly, currently ranked world #3.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll actually be my first ever time visiting Spain, so I\u2019m really looking forward to getting there and seeing and experiencing what I\u2019ve always imagined to be this amazing culture. The golf course at La Reserva looks incredible too so it should be a great week.<\/p>\n

\u201cJess and I both played in the Aramco Team Series event in New York last year and loved the format. It\u2019s something different having the separate team-individual formats going on at the same time which is fun.\u00a0 <\/span>With 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\u2019m excited to get out there and can\u2019t wait to see what Sotogrande has in store for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jessica \u2013 who has finished in the top ten in all five women\u2019s majors \u2013 said: \u201cNew York\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never actually played in Spain \u2013 this will be my first time. Spain has had such a massive influence on golf, from big name players like Seve, Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm to Carlota Ciganda and the many Spanish girls making an impact on both the LPGA and LET.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Spanish fans are known to have some fiery passion too, so I can\u2019t wait to tee it up in front of them for what should be a pretty special atmosphere in Sotogrande.\u201d<\/p>\n

The headline pair will be joined in Sotogrande by a host of big-name Spanish golfers, including Solheim Cup hero Carlota Ciganda, rising talent Ana Pel\u00e1ez Trivi\u00f1o, Nuria Iturrioz and Carmen Alonso<\/a>, as part of a field packed with global stars, more of whom will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n
