The LPGA will be moving to Australia this week for the playing of the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.

Jessica Korda, winner of the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic, will be trying to open the 2014 season with back to back wins. The Korda family has a rich history of coming up big in this country as Jessica won this event in 2012, and her father, Petr Korda, won the Australian Open Tennis Championship in 1998.

This will be tournament #2 of 32 tournaments on the 2014 schedule.

Here are the key details:
