"I committed to play this event last year, but since then I've only grown more excited at the prospect and I am particularly encouraged by the increasing number of opportunities arising for women and men to compete in the same event.

Paul McGinley, Jose Maria Olazabal, Colin Montgomerie and Ian Woosnam are also playing in the event.

MacLaren continued, "She has been one of my golfing heroes since 1996 and this is another example of the European Tour and Staysure Tour being prepared to innovate and look to attract a wider audience to the game of golf."
