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 open for fans via Webook.com, ahead of the tournament at Riyadh Golf Club (November 19-22), featuring an elite line-up 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 after securing a dramatic victory in a three-way, two-hole play-off 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 said: “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.”

Golf Saudi’s vision is to be the catalyst for Saudi Arabia to become an exceptional golfing nation. Aiming to facilitate uptake and participation in Saudi Arabian golf through delivering world-class events such as the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers, Golf Saudi also delivers world-class facilities, operational excellence, and implementation of best practices at their impressive portfolio of events.

Once again Golf Saudi’s PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers has attracted a stellar family of co-sponsors including Riyadh Season and tournament partners SHG, GIB, Al Hammadi Hospitals Group, Saddik & Mohamed Attar and Rolex.

The tournament is the last of nine elevated events on The International Series calendar this season. The Asian Tour-sanctioned tournaments offer a direct pathway for players from all over the world onto the LIV Golf League. The champion of the season-ending International Series Rankings will secure a spot on the 2026 LIV Golf League roster.

This marks the second year the tournament will be held at Riyadh Golf Club, the home of Golf Saudi and is the Saudi capital’s premier golf course. Its par-72 layout is set across 7,434-yards of undulating fairways and has played host to many of the Kingdom’s leading tournaments, including the Saudi Open presented by PIF, the Aramco Team Series Riyadh, and the Aramco Saudi Ladies International.

The PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers moved to the Asian Tour circuit in 2022 as part of a new partnership.
