A Huge Few Days For Tom Kim, PIF Exits Women’s Game And Masters Spot To Be Decided: This Week In Golf

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has reportedly ended its support of women's golf, while Tom Kim competes at the Asian Games aiming for an exemption from mandatory military service. The former backer of the Aramco Global Series has stepped back as Golf Saudi takes over sponsorship of The Championship in London starting in 2027 under a new co-sanctioned agreement between the Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tour.

Meanwhile, South Korea's Tom Kim left the Presidents Cup early to play in the Asian Games at Kasugai Country Club, where winning a gold medal offers an exemption from two years of military service. Across the wider golf landscape, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship celebrates its 25th anniversary, the US Mid-Amateur offers a 2027 Masters spot, and the PGA Tour resumes with the Bank of Utah Championship.
