The competition, which will be held from the 9th to the 11th, is also the first event of the newly launched PIF Global Series.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF), an investment organization that leads Saudi Arabia and the world's economic transformation, officially launched the PIF Global Series by participating as series title partners in five competitions belonging to the European Women's Tour (LET).
In 2025, three continents and five competitions will be held, with a total prize money of $2 million at stake for each competition. The series introduces a new format consisting of three days of individual and two days of team competitions. Team competitions consist of four professionals, and are determined through a weekly draft of the competition. The top two scores for each hole are reflected in the team score.
Top domestic and foreign players will participate in this competition.
Defending champion Kim Hyo-joo, who won the tournament last year by beating England's Charlie Hull by three strokes, will visit the New Korea Country Club once again.
