‘All eyes on Middle East at pivotal time after Hull’s Saudi win’

Published

Charley Hull’s commanding victory at the Aramco Ladies Team Series event in Riyadh has highlighted the growing prominence of golf in the Middle East. Hull, who ended a challenging stretch of six runner-up finishes with her three-shot win, displayed exceptional skill by finishing 18 under par over 54 holes.

This win not only reflects Hull’s enduring talent but also underscores the momentum that women’s golf is gaining in the region. With the support of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), events like this have drawn international attention, enhancing the sport’s global footprint while bolstering Hull’s status as a leading figure on the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA.

Simultaneously, a groundbreaking agreement is reportedly unfolding between the PGA Tour and PIF, marking a potential shift in men’s professional golf. A rumored $1 billion deal would pave the way for former LIV Tour players to return to PGA Tour events, alongside talks of PGA players participating in LIV’s lucrative tournaments.

While neither party has confirmed details, this evolving partnership could reshape tournament structures and influence future player trajectories, particularly for stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.

With the PGA Tour preparing to streamline its roster and competition fields by 2026, all eyes remain on the Middle East as it increasingly influences the sport’s future on both the men’s and women’s circuits.
