One of the most lucrative tournaments in women’s golf returns with the PIF Saudi Ladies International at Riyadh Golf Club – the second big event to be held at the course in a week after the LIV Golf season-opener.
The purse is identical to the last two editions, as the field competes for $5m - $1m more than the two opening LPGA Tour events of the season combined.
However, this year, there is a big change to the format. In previous years, the action has comprised 72 holes of strokeplay, but it’s all change for 2025, with a team element added.
The first two days of action features both an individual strokeplay competition and team format over 36 holes.
In the opening two rounds, the field of 112 will be split into 28 teams of four competing in a four-ball format as they challenge for the team title. Team captains were selected from the official Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings on Monday 3 February. Each captain selected one player, with the third and fourth players chosen at random.
The best two gross scores from each team on each hole will count towards the team score, with $500,000 awarded to the winners.
The third round sees the top 60 and ties from the first two days progress, where an individual champion will be crowned. Those players will be competing for a share of the remaining $4.5m of the prize money.
Below is the prize money payout for the PIF Saudi Ladies International.
