PIF Launches USD 13 Million Women’s Golf Series in Riyadh in 2025
The PIF Global Series features five events across three continents, offering one of the largest prize pools in women’s golf.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been announced as the title partner of a newly restructured international women’s golf series on the Ladies European Tour (LET), further expanding its investment in global sport and reinforcing its commitment to elevating women’s athletic opportunities.
“These tournaments are well supported by our members through their end-to-end event experiences and competitive environments. This investment from PIF continues to raise the level of competition and commitment to the women’s game, to ensure our players have the best possible opportunities to develop and succeed on the world stage,” Alexandra Armas, CEO of Ladies European Tour, tells SceneNowSaudi.
Launched in collaboration with Golf Saudi, the PIF Global Series will feature five tournaments throughout 2025, with events scheduled across Asia, Europe and North America. The series will open in Riyadh with the PIF Saudi Ladies International at Riyadh Golf Club from February 13th to the 15th, 2025. This flagship event will offer a prize purse of USD 5 million, positioning it among the highest-paying tournaments in women’s professional golf.
Each of the remaining four events will feature a prize purse of USD 2 million, bringing the total series prize pool to USD 13 million. Alongside the Riyadh stop, tournaments will be held in Seoul, London, Houston and Shenzhen. The format will combine individual and team play, introducing a fresh competitive structure to the LET calendar.
"The new PIF Global Series is another huge moment for the LET, as it continues to grow and offer more opportunities for players to play and win in amazing events around the world,” England's Charley Hull and Golf Saudi ambassador said. “Golf Saudi and PIF have proven to be real game changers for women’s golf, once again backing up their commitment to creating equal opportunities and raising the bar for the players.
This marks another step in PIF’s broader strategy to support women’s sport on a global scale, following previous efforts through Golf Saudi and the Aramco Team Series.
