The 2026 Ladies European Tour (LET) season officially gets underway this week with the PIF Saudi Ladies International at Riyadh Golf Club.

It is the first time the tournament has hosted the season-opening event on the LET and will see 120 players vying for the title in Riyadh.

Last week saw the LET announce a record prize purse for the 2026 season with players competing for over €40 million for the first time in its history.

The PIF Saudi Ladies International, which is the first event of the 2026 PIF Global Series, will be contested as a 72-hole stroke play tournament, with a cut after 36 holes, and carries a prize purse of $5 million USD.

This is the seventh edition of the tournament, which was added to the LET schedule in 2020, and the third consecutive edition held at Riyadh Golf Club.

The field of 120 players represents more than 30 nationalities with a host of LET and LPGA Tour stars competing.

2025 LET Order of Merit winner Shannon Tan, who became the first Singaporean in history to win the coveted crown, kicks off her 2026 campaign this week.

She is also joined by Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit, the 2024 winner of the tournament, alongside a myriad of European and U.S. Solheim Cup stars.

World number five and four-time LET winner Charley Hull is in attendance having finished in the top 10 during last year’s edition.

The tournament takes place from Wednesday 11 February to Saturday 14 February at Riyadh Golf Club.
