The Saudi International Golf Tournament, powered by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and SoftBank, is set to start on Wednesday, featuring a lineup of the world’s top golf stars, alongside five Saudi players.
The championship, held from December 4 to 7 at Riyadh Golf Club, is held for the first time in the capital; five previous editions were hosted at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City in Jeddah, SPA reported.
Holding the competition reflects Saudi Arabia's commitment to promoting golf on the global stage and the ongoing efforts of Saudi Golf and the Saudi Golf Federation (SGF) to attract major international sports events.

UEFA has fined Real Madrid 30,000 euros ($31,200) for unspecified discriminatory behavior apparently by fans during its recent Champions League game against Manchester City.

Madrid was also handed a suspended partial closure of the stadium on Friday.
UEFA said the Spanish club was on a two-year probation period during which 500 seats could be closed for a coming game.

It is unclear what behavior was being sanctioned by UEFA during the match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Feb. 19. Madrid won 3-1 to complete a 6-3 aggregate score in their knockout round playoff.
