The PIF Saudi International 2024, sponsored by SoftBank Investment Advisers, is one of the world’s premier sporting events.
First launched in 2019 at the Royal Greens Golf Club in King Abdullah Economic City, Jeddah, this year marks its debut in the capital, Riyadh, at Riyadh Golf Club, from December 4 to 7, 2024.
The championship will host a stellar lineup of the world’s brightest golf stars, offering a massive prize pool of $5 million, making it one of the most attractive events for players and fans alike.
The event aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to elevate the Kingdom’s status as a global sports and tourism hub. It also reflects the efforts of Golf Saudi and the Saudi Golf Federation to attract major international sporting events and foster the development of golf locally.
The championship provides spectators with a holistic experience, combining exciting sports competitions with engaging entertainment and social activities, creating an inclusive sporting celebration that welcomes all members of the community.
The facility boasts a challenging 18-hole golf course with exceptional practice facilities. The course’s undulating terrain, wide fairways and manicured greens offer golfers a pleasurable and challenging experience. The manmade lakes and streams traversing into the whole course aim to keep golfers at the top of their game, whilst strategically placed pins will keep the total scores competitive.
After recent refurbishments, the club now offers a leisure Padel club, restaurant, Shisha Lounge and outdoor terrace with large screens for events.
