  • A collective $13 million purse will be distributed across the five events, with $2 million allocated per tournament, doubling the previous prize pool.
  • The first event under the new branding begins May 9 in Seoul, with subsequent tournaments scheduled in London, Houston, Shenzhen, and Riyadh.
  • This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 strategy to diversify its economy and elevate women’s sports on a global stage.
