The prize money on offer at the Ladies European Tour鈥檚 Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF will undergo a significant five-fold increase next year from $1 million to $5 million.

Women golfers will now compete for equal prize money to men in the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers on the Asian Tour and the purse will be the third largest on the LET, offering a check for $750,000 to the tournament champion.

The increased prize money will start when the tournament takes place for the fourth consecutive year at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City from Feb. 16-19, 2023, as part of a renewed agreement between the LET and Golf Saudi.

Golf Saudi Deputy Chairman and CEO Majed Al-Sorour said: 鈥淎fter three successful years of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International, we are delighted to offer the women equal prize money to the men from 2023 as part of our ambitious plans to attract the world鈥檚 best players and inspire homegrown talents.

鈥淚t鈥檚 hugely exciting to unveil a five-fold increase in the prize fund and this only highlights our desire to help to raise the profile of women鈥檚 golf further and give the players the rewards that they deserve. Golf Saudi is not only committed to providing life-changing prize funds for female golfers, but also continuing to encourage females to get involved in the game of golf throughout the Kingdom.鈥�

The tournament will assemble a strong field of 120 competitors, comprising the LET, the Rolex Women鈥檚 World Golf Rankings and sponsor invitations.

鈥淭he increased purse for the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by PIF is a landmark moment for our tour, and for women鈥檚 sport globally,鈥� said LET CEO Alexandra Armas.

鈥淚t will allow the tournament to grow in every way, from its purpose and impact on social change to the delivery of exceptional experiences for fans, and for players at the event and in the community. This is a message to all young women that golf is for them, and they can pursue the sport as a passion and as a career.鈥�

Since the inaugural Aramco Saudi Ladies International in 2020, thousands of Saudi women and girls have taken to the fairways across the country and committed to learning golf, aligning with the Kingdom鈥檚 wider ambitions under Vision 2030, which aims to get more Saudis regularly active. In fact, 1,000 young girls signed up to play the game within just four days of the launch of the Ladies First Club, and by 2030, the intention is for more than 1 million Saudis to have actively tried golf.

Golf Saudi is also working with EDGA to promote golf for all players with disabilities, regardless of their ability, and to ensure that people with disabilities are able to feel welcome and take part in golf in its many forms.

鈥淪howcasing the best female golfers in the world as role models is integral to the games growth and increasing participation numbers, as if females of the Kingdom can see it, they can be it,鈥� Al-Sorour added. 鈥淭his is another important step on our journey to grow golf, and specifically women鈥檚 golf, throughout 抖阴短视频.鈥�
