The LPGA and Ladies European Tour (LET) reached an agreement with Golf Saudi on Wednesday to co-sanction a PIF Global Series event at Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas.

The Aramco Championship will be held from April 2-5 and feature a 120-golfer field with a $4 million purse.

“(It) reflects exactly where we’re headed in building the global schedule for our tour,” said Craig Kessler, LPGA commissioner. “We often talk about routing, courses and purses — and this event checks every box: a spectacular West Coast setting, an iconic course and a purse that continues our momentum in raising the bar for our athletes.

“We also recognize that partnerships like this — built on the LET’s longstanding collaboration with Golf Saudi and PIF — can help strengthen the women’s game on a global scale and elevate opportunities for our athletes.”

The event will be part of the LET’s 2026 PIF Global Series, which features four other tournaments on the 2026 LET schedule in Riyadh, Korea, the United Kingdom and China.

“We’ve had a strong relationship with Golf Saudi since 2020, and this next chapter — welcoming the LPGA to join us at Shadow Creek — highlights how far we’ve come in strengthening the global platform for women’s golf,” said Marta Figueras-Dotti, chair of the LET’s board of directors.

Said Noah Alireza, CEO, Golf Saudi: “We’re proud to partner with the LPGA and LET to host this world-class event at Shadow Creek. The Aramco Championship reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing women’s golf globally and creating opportunities that inspire future generations of players.”
