Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – x February 2026: Preparations are continuing for the launch of the PIF Saudi Ladies International, held at Riyadh Golf Club from 11-14 February 2026. As a premier stop on the PIF Global Series, the tournament coincides with the season opener of the Ladies European Tour (LET) and features a world-class field of elite international talent. The event is highlighted by the participation of "Golf Saudi" ambassadors contesting the $5 million prize fund, headlined by World No. 5 Charley Hull.
The PIF Global Series provides a competitive global platform for the world’s best women golfers to compete alongside emerging talent at premier international venues. This season’s calendar reflects an expanding international presence and high-level competition, with upcoming stops including Las Vegas, London, Korea, and Shenzhen.
Ambassadors will stand as an inspiration to local amateurs and newcomers to the game, not only with their outstanding competitive play, but also by joining Go Golf clinics and driving range sessions with beginners and emerging talent at every venue.
Here’s who the fans in Riyadh can experience at first hand next week:
Charley Hull (England)
A seasoned champion with multiple global titles to her name, the 29-year-old brings a formidable track record to the field. Hull is no stranger to success in the Kingdom, having famously secured the individual title at the Riyadh Series in 2024. Her performance across the PIF Global Series has established her as a perennial fan favourite in the region; she looks to build on that momentum following a stellar run last year, where she secured top-10 finishes in both Riyadh and Houston
Known for prioritising fitness, mental wellbeing, and work in the gym alongside honing her game, Hull made headlines at the 2025 PIF Saudi Ladies International by revealing she was focused on reducing her 5km run time to 20 minutes by the year’s end.
Hull said: “Every time I return to Riyadh, I’m blown away by how much the game has grown. My preparation for the PIF Saudi Ladies International is about more than just golf; it’s about arriving as an athlete ready to perform on a world-class stage.
“As a Golf Saudi ambassador, I want the next generation of young girls watching us at Riyadh Golf Club to see that with discipline and the right support, there are no limits. Being part of this journey where we see equal prize money is incredibly inspiring, and I’m proud to help show young girls what’s possible through the game. Every time I return to Riyadh, I’m blown away by how much the game has grown."
“I haven’t yet got my PB down as I tore a ligament in my ankle in August, just as I was getting close to 20 minutes... I’ve only just started running again but I hope to get to sub 20 this year!”
A proven contender in Saudi Arabia, the four-time LET winner arrives focused on delivering another crown.
Alison Lee (USA)
A two-time PIF Global Series individual winner (Sotogrande, 2021 and Riyadh, 2023) and a two-time Solheim Cup star returns to Riyadh Golf Club following her comeback at the Aramco Houston Championship, after a maternity break last year. The American also went on to play the final PIF Global Series event of 2025, in Shenzhen, six months after giving birth and discussed the challenges of balancing motherhood and elite sport.
Patty Tavatanakit (Thailand)
A Major champion and one of Thailand’s leading lights, Tavatanakit has established herself as a force on the world stage. Following her victory at the PIF Saudi Ladies International in 2024, the Thai returns to Riyadh Golf Club hungry for more success.
Tavatanakit said: “I feel good going into this week, and I’m super excited to get to Riyadh. This course and tournament have a special place in my heart, and I’m so lucky to count myself as a past champion. This event stands out on the calendar every year due to Golf Saudi’s incredible support of the athletes and of golf in general - we’re all looking very forward to getting there for a great week!”
Carlota Ciganda (Spain)
A combined 11-time winner on the LPGA tour and the LET, the seven-time Solheim Cup capped Spaniard will be looking to go one better than her last PIF Global Series outing in Houston, where she lost out to compatriot Nuria Iturrioz, finishing T2 with fellow Golf Saudi Ambassador Hull.
Marianne Skarpnord (Norway)
The 39-year-old has demonstrated age is no barrier at the top level, competing in 18 LET events in 2025 and with victories spanning all the way back to 2009, the Norwegian golfer will be looking to prove that age is just a number when competing at Riyadh Golf Club.
Skarpnord said: "Women’s golf has changed massively since I started on the tour in 2005. Over the last decade, the game has grown enormously, and the standard today is completely different. Golf Saudi has played a massive part in that - they are raising the profile of the women's game, strengthening the fields and creating opportunities for us that simply didn't exist before."
Muni “Lily” He (China)
One of golf’s most popular players, the fan favourite finished T8 at Riyadh Golf Club in the 2025 edition of the PIF Saudi Ladies International, and while showing promise across the LPGA and Ladies European Tour, could 2026 be her breakthrough year?
Danielle Kang (USA)
A Major champion and six-time winner on the LPGA Tour, the American is set to return to the PIF Global Series after finishing in the top 30 of the 2025 season-ending Aramco Houston Championship. The 33-year-old is no stranger to adversity however, overcoming significant back injuries and health issues to continue challenging on the world’s biggest stages.
Olivia Cowan (Germany)
Competing in all five PIF Global Series events in 2025, the ever-present German finished inside the top 20 on three occasions, with a best placed T4 at the PIF London Championship at Centurion Club and will be hoping to add another stellar performance to kick start her season in Saudi Arabia.
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (France)
A two-time winner on the Ladies European Tour, including a victory at the PIF Global Series – Singapore in 2023, the 25-year-old will be aiming to add to her accolades this year, starting at the PIF Saudi Ladies International.
