Aramco golf series to come to the U.S.

The U.S. leg of the Aramco Team Series golf tour will take place October 14-16 on the North Shore of Long Island at Glen Oaks Club, just 25 miles east of New York City.

The unique format of the tournament pairs amateurs and professionals in teams competing for $1 million in prize money.

This is the third stop in a four-country tour that has attracted some of the world's top women golfers.

Famed Swedish professional golfer Anna Nordqvist is the Aramco Team Series ambassador.  When she joined the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) in 2009, there were 22 events; today there are 36 as more women take up the game.

Events like the Aramco Team Series – with its total $4 million in prize money across the four destinations and the final round to be played in the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah – are attracting attention not only on the course but beyond it as well.

The Aramco Team Series includes supporting local initiatives to introduce young people to golf, making it more accessible for all, and encouraging women to pursue sports.

In the U.S., the series teams up with Girls on the Green Tee, a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower and inspire young girls through the game of golf, as a part of its Driving Force initiative.   

With its community partners and the players, Aramco takes pride in supporting women's sports and paving the way for the next generation of golfers.
