NOVEMBER 9, 2025, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Golf Saudi has officially announced the launch of the 2025 PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers, a major sporting event taking place as part of Riyadh Season 2025. Ticket sales are now open for fans via Webook.com, ahead of the tournament set to be held from November 19 to 22 at Riyadh Golf Club, featuring an elite lineup of the world’s top golf stars.

This year’s edition brings a new and exceptional twist, with the introduction of the WOW Festival — an immersive celebration combining world-class golf, luxury cars, and live music, offering a unique experience that blends sport, entertainment, and culture in one of the standout highlights of Riyadh Season 2025.

Golf enthusiasts can look forward to witnessing some of the sport’s biggest names, including Joaquin Niemann, Tyrrell Hatton, and Dustin Johnson, as they compete in the season finale of The International Series on the Asian Tour, set against the vibrant backdrop of Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh.

The PIF Saudi International 2025 powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers, is set to be one of the standout experiences of the Riyadh Season 2025. It is an integral part of the WOW Festival, a celebration which seamlessly brings together golf, luxury car showcases, and live music performances, all of which will take place at Riyadh Golf Club during the tournament days.

Defending champion Niemann will return this November after securing a dramatic victory in a three-way, two hole playoff last year to claim the title and top The International Series Rankings. The 26-year-old has been in dominant form, capturing seven titles on the LIV Golf League, including five this season.

Johnson, a two-time winner of the PIF Saudi International (2021, 2022), is set to make his sixth appearance at the tournament, while Ryder Cup star Hatton returns after an impressive debut last year, where he finished in fifth place.

Niemann added “I’m really looking forward to returning to Riyadh to defend my title at the PIF Saudi International. Last year’s win was a special moment in my career, and the atmosphere at Riyadh Golf Club was incredible. The course sets up really well for my game, and with such a strong field again this year, it’s going to be an exciting challenge.”
