Director of Golf at Troon Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Ben Stimson commented: “We are very excited to partner with CPG in showcasing the inaugural Troon Royal Greens Pro-Am supported by Golf Saudi. Following the recent successes of the Troon Abu Dhabi Pro-Am, we feel that now is the perfect time to stage our very own Pro-Am at the award-winning Royal Greens Golf & Country Club. We have now hosted 2 Saudi International, European Tour events and the feedback from players has been incredible. The golf course, designed by Dave Sampson of European Golf Design is exquisite, and whilst it provides a real challenge with the prevailing wind from the red sea, it is an exciting golf course with many birdie opportunities for professionals & amateurs alike. Furthermore, Royal Greens Golf & Country Club was voted the World’s Best Golf Clubhouse in 2019 and our facilities are second to none. Our dining experiences for the Pro-Am will be sensational and we cannot wait to showcase this to the world.
We will utilize our Troon Golf expertise to coordinate an extraordinary Pro-Am that will include an exceptionally run event with incredible playing surfaces. Professionals and amateurs will follow in the footsteps of the world’s best including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka & Phil Mickelson, only 1 week after the 2021 Saudi International, and this is arguably the main attraction. We have also partnered with our KAEC hotels which offer luxurious accommodation and located only 7 minutes from the golf club. We have arranged personal transfers to and from the airport along with daily transfers to and from the golf club which will also add a touch of class for the event.
Ultimately, we are growing the game of golf in Saudi Arabia. Golf is a very new sport in the kingdom and providing a Pro-Am for international professionals and amateurs to be a part of, will certainly help to grow the tourism segment and the longer-term strategy of golf in Saudi Arabia.”.
