▲ The trophy for the 2023 Saudi International golf tournament
The final golf tournament of the Asian Tour season, scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia, has been postponed indefinitely due to the fallout from the Middle East conflict.
In a joint statement issued today, the Asian Tour and the tournament organizing committee announced that the Saudi International, the season finale originally scheduled to take place over four days starting November 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has been postponed.
A rescheduled date has not yet been announced.
Co-sanctioned with the DP World Tour from 2019 to 2021, the tournament has been supported by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) since 2022.
Recently, the security situation in Saudi Arabia has grown increasingly unstable, with airports and energy facilities damaged in attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
Sports events across the Middle East are experiencing disruptions, with the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament, originally scheduled for later this month, postponed to December.
