These events open doors for women to showcase their talent on the biggest stages, competing against the very best in the world. Thanks to the vision and commitment of Golf Saudi, these opportunities continue to grow, empowering female golfers to reach new heights and inspire the next generation. Tenniel Chu, Vice Chairman of Mission Hills China and Honorary Vice Chairman of the China Golf Association, said Mission Hills has always been more than just a golf course – it's a stage for moments that resonate far beyond the fairways. To welcome back the Aramco China Championship as the finale of the PIF Global Series is not only an honor, but a chance to showcase once again the energy, culture and passion for golf that make this place unique. We're excited to see the world’s best players write the next chapter of that story here in Shenzhen, as we celebrate the city's 45th anniversary as the heart of the Greater Bay Area.” As well as a world-class field, Golf Saudi’s clinics will be encouraging the next generation of passionate golf fans to take up the sport, while panels and themes throughout the event will focus on tourism between China and KSA as well as investment opportunities between the countries. The PIF Global Series is far more than a collection of five tournaments across the globe – it represents the pinnacle of the Ladies European Tour. With the player line-up set to be revealed in the coming weeks along with ticketing, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a thrilling finale to the PIF Global Series.
