The Aramco Saudi Ladies International Championship 2023, sponsored by the Public Investment Fund, will kick off Thursday at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, in the King Abdullah Economic City.

In partnership with the Ladies European Tour (LET), the tournament will see the participation of some of the biggest names in women’s golf such as world no. 1, New Zealander Lydia Ko, world no. 4, Thai Atthaya Thitikul, and world no. 7, US Lexi Thompson, competing for several prizes that are worth combined around $5 million.

The prizes equal the total ones awarded by the Saudi Men International Golf Championship funded by the Public Investment Fund and sponsored by the SoftBank Group.

Spectators and golf fans can expect a wide array of entertainment offerings that suit all family members and ensure them good times in the audience zone and around the playing field.

The championship offers the spectators the chance to learn the golf basics in the audience zone, and to share this experience with Saudi stars from the women’s football clubs of Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, who will be partaking in a golf training course on Friday.

The international golf players described the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club at the King Abdullah Economic City, which has a breathtaking view of the Red Sea, as one of the best fields they played in.

No English top-flight clubs have been charged for breaches of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the period 2021-2024 although Leicester City remain at risk pending the outcome of an ongoing legal case.

Clubs that had reported losses in the initial two years of the current three-year period were obligated to submit their accounts for the 2023-24 season to the Premier League by Dec. 31. Losses should not exceed 105 million pounds over a rolling three-year period, according to the league's PSR rules.

Everton and Nottingham Forest were both sanctioned last season for breaches of PSR rules and were docked eight and four points respectively.

Leicester, who were promoted last season from the Championship but are currently 19th in the table, avoided a points deduction against a charge in September relating to the three years until the end of the 2022-23 season, Reuters reported.

The club's appeal against the charge was upheld on the basis that an independent commission ruling on the case did not have jurisdiction because Leicester's accounting period ended when the club had already been relegated to the second tier.

"Issues as to the jurisdiction of the Premier League over Leicester City Football Club in relation to PSR compliance are currently the subject of confidential arbitration proceedings," the Premier League and Leicester said in a joint statement on Tuesday.

"Accordingly, neither the League nor the club will make any further comment at this stage about any aspect of the club's compliance or otherwise with any of the PSR or related Rules, save to say that no complaint has been brought against Leicester by the League for any breach of the PSRs for the period ending Season 2023/24."
