It will be a high profile field as 12 of the world's top-20 ranked players opted to tee up at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, one week before the season's second major, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Aditi is already in the field for PGA Championship, but would love to carry some good form and results into it. She played and made the cut at ANA Inspiration earlier in the season.
She's joined by two-time major champion and world No. 3 So Yeon Ryu, who returns to action for the first time since the ShopRite LPGA Classic where she missed the cut, ending the longest active cut streak on Tour which dated back to 2014.
Rounding out the top-10 in the field this week in Arkansas are world No. 7 Inbee Park, No. 8 Sung Hyun Park, No. 9 Anna Nordqvist and No. 10 Sei Young Kim.
Plagued by injury and illness in recent years, a healthy and injury free Wie has put herself in contention week after week in 2017.
She arrives in Arkansas off her best finish of 2017, a runner-up finish at the Meijer LPGA Classic for her third top-4 finish in her last three starts.
