Riyadh, Saudi Arabia [September 25, 2024] - Best friends and former Saudi champions Alison Lee and Patty Tavatanakit are set to go head-to-head as this season’s Aramco Team Series presented by PIF organized by Golf Saudi draws to an exciting close at Riyadh Golf Club.
American Lee, who represented Team USA in the 2024 Solheim Cup, returns to the star-studded event from October 31 to November 2 as defending individual champion. This follows her record-breaking triumph in 2023 in Riyadh, which was sealed when she carded a final-round 65 to finish 29-under-par, setting a new 54-hole scoring record on the Ladies European Tour (LET).
"Winning in Riyadh last year was a career highlight for me. The energy and support was incredible, and I felt like everything came together perfectly on the course, " she said.
“I’m looking forward to bringing that same energy and focus to this year’s event as it’s always special to return to a place where you’ve had such a memorable win. I’m excited to see what this year has in store.”
Thai golfer Tavatanakit, the World No. 22, also has a strong connection to Riyadh, having won the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF on the same course earlier this year. That victory was her first since 2021, and she now returns with confidence, eager to replicate her success.
“Lifting that trophy earlier this year in Riyadh was a huge boost for me and a very emotional win,” said Tavatanakit. “It felt like a turning point in my career and gave me the confidence to win another title straight off the back of it.”
“Coming back to the same course is something I’m really excited about and I’m ready for the challenge.”
Organized by Golf Saudi, the five events on the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF add an annual $5 million USD in prize money to the LET, taking its innovative team format to four continents across the year.
The Series brings together teams of three professionals and one amateur, creating one of the most exciting event formats in world golf, for players and fans alike. Stops in Tampa, South Korea, London, and Shenzhen have crowned international winners including Ireland’s Leona Maguire, Korean Hyo-Joo Kim, and Alexandra Fosterling of Germany already this year, ahead of the tournament arriving back in the Saudi capital.
The tournament’s return to Saudi Arabia reflects Golf Saudi and the Aramco Team Series presented by PIF's commitment to bringing world-class golf to the Kingdom. Their goal is to inspire more Saudis to take up the sport, while also making a lasting impact through ongoing efforts to elevate grassroots golf.
