Exploring LIV Golfers' record at the PIF Saudi International

The PIF Saudi International has been played five times and all winners are current LIV players. Dustin Johnson was the inaugural winner (2019) and is the only multiple winner (2021). Abraham Ancer is the defending champion.

Johnson also set the event's "aggregate" and "to par" records (19-under 261) when he won in 2019. Ancer matched them in 2023.

In its first three editions, the PIF Saudi International was sanctioned by the European Tour and had a purse of $3.5 million, with approximately $580,000 going to the winner (the amount varied from season to season).

The tournament has been part of the Asian Tour for the last two editions with a purse of $5 million and $1 million for the winner.

The first five editions of the PIF Saudi International were played at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City. For the sixth edition, the event moved to the Riyadh Golf Club, which hosted the Ladies European Tour's Aramco Team Series event a few weeks ago.

In a few days, the same course will host the LIV Promotions Event, which will award the winner with a league contract for next season.
