The Grant Thornton Invitational is back this week, pairing the best players from the LPGA Tour with players from the PGA Tour for a three-day event in Naples. Here is every team at The Grant Thornton Invitational ranked by likelihood to win:
No. 11 – Lottie Woad and Luke Clanton – One of the few teams where it seems there was any rhyme or reason to the pairing, these former Florida State stars are probably future stars on their respective tours, but don’t bring any experience in this event and compared to the rest of the field, they have the least in general. While Lottie Woad had some great moments in 2025, Clanton wasn’t as successful and it will be interesting to see his contributions to the team.
No. 10 – Lexi Thompson and Wyndham Clark – This is one of just two teams where both players are major champions. Wyndham Clark is undoubtedly a top-three biggest men’s name in this field (make of that what you will) and Thompson’s length gives this team a massive advantage. All that being said, neither of these players are even close to what they were in their primes. Clark had just two top-10 finishes in 2025 and Thompson isn’t playing a full schedule and hasn’t done much since her strong early summer.
No. 9 – Andrea Lee and Billy Horschel – Billy Horschel is one of the biggest men’s names in the field (again, make of that what you will) and has been quietly in solid form as of late. Despite a light schedule, he has finished top 15 in two of his last three starts, though one of them was against a small field last week. Andrea Lee had a good season in 2025 despite a lack of headlines and is generally strong in alternate formats. Certainly not a great chance to win necessarily, but it would be a surprise if this team finishes outside of the top 10.
No. 8 – Megan Khang and Keith Mitchell – It is hard to imagine a stronger partner to come into this with than Megan Khang, who brings energy and usually strong play, particularly with her irons. While this isn’t directly similar to the Solheim Cup, she is an ace in that format and she nearly won the Dow Championship this year alongside Lexi Thompson. She pairs with Keith Mitchell, who has shown strong form recently with a couple of top-20 finishes.
No. 7 – Lauren Coughlin and Andrew Novak – Many might not realize how rock solid Andrew Novak has been. Novak has six top-10 finishes along with a win in 2025 and may be the PGA Tour player in the field with the most successful season. He pairs with Lauren Coughlin, who hasn’t had the strongest season after her breakout 2024, but like some of the other players around this ranking, she works well as a teammate. Having a strong PGA Tour player here is a huge advantage in a field that doesn’t have many.
