CENTURION CLUB GEARS UP FOR PIF LONDON CHAMPIONSHIP

Driven by Golf Saudi’s commitment to growing the game globally and empowering women through golf, the PIF London Championship will return to Centurion Club in Hertfordshire from 8-10 August. Organised by Golf Saudi, the tournament marks its fifth consecutive edition at the acclaimed venue, reinforcing its status as a cornerstone of the Ladies European Tour (LET).

With a prize fund boosted to $2 million, the tournament continues to attract a world-class field, featuring a mix of seasoned champions and emerging talent. As one of the most anticipated stops on the LET calendar, the event promises another chapter of thrilling competition and memorable moments.

Top talent assembles, featuring Golf Saudi’s leading ambassadors

This year’s field boasts a strong English contingent, blending rising stars with established names. Charley Hull, a Golf Saudi ambassador headlines the lineup following an impressive runner-up finish at the AIG Women’s Open, the final Major of the season. She is joined by fellow Major champion Georgia Hall and current LET Order of Merit leader Mimi Rhodes, who both secured top-20 finishes at the same event. Emerging talent Annabell Fuller also adds to the strength of the home challenge.

Eight-time LET champion and Solheim Cup standout Carlota Ciganda also forms the strong international contingent, joined by 2023 Evian Championship winner Celine Boutier. Former Chevron Championship winner Patty Tavatanakit also features in the field, returning to familiar ground after her victory at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International in 2024 – all three also are proud Golf Saudi ambassadors.

The newly launched PIF Global Series

The PIF Global Series is a newly launched initiative on the Ladies European Tour (LET), aimed at accelerating the growth of women’s golf on a global scale.

The PIF London Championship marks the third event in the five-tournament series, following successful events in Saudi Arabia and South Korea.

This partnership underscores PIF’s long-term commitment to women’s sport, with a total prize pool of $13 million across the series - one of the highest purses outside of the majors - significantly enhancing the earning potential for professional female golfers.

Fifth time’s the charm at Centurion

Now in its fifth consecutive year, the tournament returns as the PIF London Championship, building on a legacy of drama and excitement. Last year’s edition proved unforgettable, with the team competition culminating in a thrilling playoff after Team Nadaud and Team Hall were deadlocked through 36 holes. Captains Nastasia Nadaud and Georgia Hall went head-to-head to break the tie, with Nadaud delivering a clutch birdie on the third extra hole to secure the win. She was swiftly joined in celebration on Centurion Club’s iconic 18th green by teammates Kristyna Napoleaova, Mireia Prat, and amateur Brooksbank - a fitting end to a gripping contest.

The individual competition offered its own share of late drama. Leona Maguire matched Bronte Law’s 2022 heroics with a spectacular eagle on the final hole to edge out Maria Hernandez by a single stroke, underlining the event’s growing reputation for heart-stopping finishes.
