November 27, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - For the first time in its history, the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers will feature an unprecedented line-up of Saudi Arabian players with five representatives from the Kingdom set to compete in the event, which takes place from December 4-7 at Riyadh Golf Club. 

Othman Almulla, Faisal Salhab, Saud Al Sharif, Khalid Walid Attieh and Shergo Al Kurdi will take part in the competition, marking a groundbreaking moment for Saudi golf on a global stage.  

Almulla, Saudi Arabia's first professional golfer, has paved the way for the game's growth in the Kingdom and remains a key ambassador for the sport. Before turning professional in 2019, he became the first Saudi golfer to win the Qatar Open and qualify for two professional events, the 2007 Dubai Desert Classic and the 2008 Qatar Masters.  

Othman Almulla added, 'It's an honour to be part of this milestone for Saudi golf, competing alongside my fellow countrymen on such a prestigious stage. The PIF Saudi International is a testament to the incredible progress golf has made in the Kingdom and the bright future ahead. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without Golf Saudi's support, and I'm proud to represent Saudi Arabia while inspiring the next generation of golfers to elevate the game even further.'

Salhab turned professional last year and has represented Saudi Arabia at various international tournaments, including the Pan Arab Golf Championships. Attieh, meanwhile, made history in February 2024 at the International Series Oman when he became the first amateur player from Saudi Arabia to make the cut. 

Almulla, Salhab, Al Sharif and Kurdi also serve as Golf Saudi ambassadors with a mission to elevate the game in the Kingdom. 

This record-breaking participation highlights the growing strength of Saudi golfers, who will be competing alongside global superstars such as Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson, Tyrrell Hatton, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, reflecting one of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals, which aims to establish the Kingdom as a global golf destination.  

Local fans will have the chance to cheer on their national athletes at one of the most highly anticipated tournaments, which is being held in Riyadh for the first time. 

Golf Saudi continues to grow the game and inspire golfers around the world by bringing together the best players on the planet to compete. The Saudi International not only showcases the best of professional golf, but also aims to encourage more individuals, particularly young Saudis, to take up the sport.

Through its 'Go Golf' initiative, Golf Saudi offers three months of free lessons for all new golfers in KSA, followed by 12 complimentary rounds, along with discounted memberships and coaching. Golf Saudi is committed to expanding access to the sport for players at all levels and building a vibrant golf community in the Kingdom.
