Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, the venue for Saudi International
Asian Tour, the premier golf tour on the sub-continent which had taken a hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic is all set to return with a new 10-year partnership with Saudi International starting next year.
The tournament previously played for three years on the European Tour will continue to be played at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, near Jeddah, between February 3-6, 2022 and with the inclusion of the Asian Tour, the prize has gone up to US$ 5mn, the highest on the Asian tour.
The Asian Tour, the official sanctioning body for golf in Asia and a full member of the International Federation of PGA Tours, will sanction the championship, opening new commercial prospects and enabling a greater number of Asian professional golfers to qualify and compete for life-changing opportunities.
While the Saudi International presented by SoftBank Investment Advisers will mark the start of a revamped 2022 schedule, the Asian Tour is also in the process of finalising plans to complete its combined 2020/2021 schedule, which will be announced in due course.
The Saudi International presented by SoftBank Investment Advisers is managed by IMG, a leading golf and sports management group.
