A cornerstone of the LET, the second Asian leg of the 2024 Aramco Team Series presented By PIF will tee-up on the acclaimed World Cup Course at Mission Hills Resort in the vibrant city of Shenzhen, October 4-6. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course will welcome an array of the world’s top talent, as they bid to win individual and team trophies, and a share of the weekend’s $1 million USD prize fund.
Organized by Golf Saudi, the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF is a series of five events on the LET each year, adding an annual $5 million USD in prize money. With events in destinations across Europe, Asia, North America and the Middle East, the innovative format is loved by players and fans alike, as groups of three professionals and an amateur compete against each other in the Tour’s only recurring team event.
The series heads to Shenzhen in October following events in Florida, Seoul and London already this season, with the final leg of the season set for Riyadh in November.
Noah Alireza, CEO of Golf Saudi, said: "We’re thrilled to be taking the Aramco Team Series to Shenzhen. This move not only showcases elite women's golf to a significant audience, but also offers us an opportunity to inspire future generations in this exciting market. Joining efforts with the world-renowned Mission Hills allows us to deliver a best-in-class event that meets the quality our golfers, fans and stakeholders alike all expect with the Aramco Team Series. Together, we are poised to deliver another truly unforgettable event.”
Khalid Al Zamil, Aramco Vice President of Public Affairs, said: "We are delighted that the Aramco Team Series will be hosted in Shenzhen. At Aramco, we believe sport provides a platform to create opportunity, improve lives and positively impact society. The Aramco Team Series aims to empower female athletes, elevating women's golf globally, inspiring future generations of athletes."
Following a successful event in Hong Kong last year, the move to Shenzhen represents an opportunity for the tournament to continue to engage with a diverse array of spectators and showcase the elite of women’s golf.
Mission Hills Resort Shenzhen, a sprawling golf and leisure resort located in the heart of southern China's Guangdong Province, is renowned as the world's largest golf facility, boasting a staggering 12 golf courses, making it one of golf’s premier global destinations.
