There is a concurrent celebrity event with 44 players competing in a no-cut 72-hole event under the modified Stableford scoring system, playing for a $500,000 purse.

The event is played this year at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, Florida.

What else is on the line: Race to the CME Globe points, WWGR points, exemptions

Beyond money, there are important points, perks and benefits on the line for the field -- in particular, the tournament winner.

The winner of this tournament earns 500 Race to the CME Globe points and Rolex Women's World Golf Ranking points.

The top 60 players in the standings at the end of The Annika in November got into the season-ending Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. The winner of that tournament wins the Race to the CME Globe and a $4 million first-place prize.

Winning comes with other big benefits, including a two-year exemption on the LPGA Tour, as well berths into other big tournaments.
