Aramco Team Series

The Aramco Team Series is both unique and historic and epitomises Aramco’s status as one of the most committed investors into female golf today. The investment by Aramco as the headline sponsor makes them one of the biggest backers of the women’s game in Europe today. The five Aramco Team Series events are a significant step forward for women’s sport and follow the hugely successful Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund and Saudi Ladies Team International, which took place at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in November 2020.

The five tournaments form an important part of a record-breaking LET schedule, with teams of four players competing together over 36 holes, before the top 60 and ties compete individually in one final, deciding round. Unlike any other event in world golf, Team Captains recruit one fellow Tour pro through a draft system. Another Tour professional will be selected at random, while all teams will also uniquely include one amateur player.

This is the only event in world golf where an amateur contributes to the final result in the main competition. Prize money for the winning team will be split between its three pro members.
