Asian Tour Golf Season Finale in Saudi Arabia Postponed Amid Middle East Conflict

The final tournament of the Asian Tour men's golf season, which was scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia, has been postponed indefinitely due to the fallout from the Middle East conflict.

The Asian Tour and the tournament organizing committee released a joint statement announcing the postponement of the season finale, the Saudi International, which was set to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for four days starting on November 18.

A rescheduled date has not yet been announced.

The tournament, which was co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour from 2019 to 2021, has been backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) since 2022.

Recently, Saudi Arabia has experienced ongoing security instability, including attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels that damaged airports and energy facilities.

Sports events in the Middle East are facing disruptions, such as the tennis tournament Six Kings Slam, which was originally scheduled for later this month and has been postponed to December.
