PIF Saudi International 2026.
PostponedUpdate: The Asian Tour postponed the tournament indefinitely on 16 October, after the attack on Riyadh's airport, citing the organisational and logistical challenges of hosting it. No new date has been announced (Reuters; Golf Monthly).
The Asian Tour's season-ending flagship, sponsored by the Public Investment Fund, was due at Riyadh Golf Club with a $5m purse, the largest on the tour's schedule. It has been postponed indefinitely.
What to expect
- Prize fund of $5m, sponsored by the Public Investment Fund (Reuters, 16 Oct 2026).
- The Asian Tour said it had decided after assessing the organisational and logistical challenges of hosting the event (Reuters, 16 Oct 2026).
Why it matters
One of the Kingdom's biggest international golf sponsorship properties is off the November calendar, so brands with hospitality or activation plans around it need to reschedule.
Also in November 2026.
