Unique and exciting format
The Aramco Team Series team event runs alongside an individuals’ tournament, so there are two gripping narratives to follow. The team competition takes place over the opening 36 holes and sees a captain select a player at a pre-event draft where she’s also allocated another professional and an amateur. The best two scores per hole count in the race to land the top prize from a total prize fund of $500,000. A further $500,000 is up for grabs in the individuals’ tournament, which runs concurrently and concludes on the third and final day. This innovative format has led to some thrilling golf, including at the latest Aramco Team Series tournament in New York where amateur Jennifer Rosenberg helped Team Gustavsson win the title. Rosenberg qualified to appear as a Championship amateur through the Saturday pre-qualifying tournament, beating off competition from some of the best golfers from across New York and beyond to take part.

Night Golf
An innovative new activation will be introduced at this year’s Aramco Team Series Jeddah aiming to encourage visitors to experience golf, potentially for the first time, in a fun and unique way. A Night Golf experience will take place on Thursday and Friday evenings with the first hole turned into a visual night-time spectacle using LED lighting and strip lights to create a wonderland of golf never seen or played before. The aim is to encourage new fans into the game of golf in Jeddah and continue the Aramco Team Series efforts to increase participation in golf across the Kingdom. Aramco will also sponsor a Night Golf Charity challenge where two professional golfers and two amateurs will play a “closest to the hole” challenge under the floodlights.
