The Saudi International and LIV Golf

My post content

Saudi Arabia has quickly become a major name in professional golf, thanks to the Saudi International Golf Tournament and the LIV Golf series. These initiatives have not only attracted top global talent but also reshaped the sport’s landscape.

The Saudi International, first held in 2019 at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, brought elite European Tour players to the Kingdom. With impressive prize money and world-class courses, it put Saudi Arabia on the map as a premier golfing destination, while inspiring youth programs and local talent development under Saudi Vision 2030.

Building on this, LIV Golf Saudi Arabia launched as a revolutionary tour, backed by the Public Investment Fund. Offering multi-million-dollar contracts and innovative formats, LIV Golf has drawn some of the biggest names in the sport. Despite controversy, it has increased global attention and introduced new ways for fans to enjoy golf.

Together, the Saudi International and LIV Golf demonstrate Saudi Arabia’s ambition to grow golf domestically, attract international audiences, and influence the global game. The Kingdom is now not just hosting tournaments—it’s shaping the future of professional golf.
