‘These courses look amazing.' PIF Future Fairways tee off in London
LONDON: With immersive tech, visionary course design, and a bold ambition to shape the next chapter of global golf, the Saudi Public Investment Fund and Golf Saudi officially launched PIF Future Fairways in central London on Tuesday — a preview event blending innovation with sport to highlight Saudi Arabia's emergence as a world class golf destination. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The event at Urban Golf in Smithfield unveiled an interactive 3D digital version of three flagship Saudi golf courses — Shura Links, Laheq Golf Course, and Trojena Northern Golf Course — designed to position the Kingdom at the heart of golf's next era. These next-generation venues will anchor Saudi's broader ambitions to triple its number of golf courses by 2030 and build a holistic sports and tourism ecosystem. Attendees, including pro golfers, designers and industry leaders, explored virtual replicas of the new courses, demo-played signature holes on high-tech simulators, and took part in a 'closest to the pin' challenge — all while engaging in off-the-record discussions with PIF stakeholders and Golf Saudi executives. 'For me, every experience that I have with Saudi, it's been amazing,' said Carlota Ciganda, one of Golf Saudi's ambassadors. 'I know what they are capable of doing. These courses look amazing, a lot of fun to play — they're going to attract a lot of people, a lot of tourists. I would love to go, play, and be part of this.' Her sentiments were echoed by fellow ambassador Marianne Skarpnord, who said: 'I definitely see Saudi Arabia becoming a golf tourist destination. Saudi Arabia's landscapes are tailor-made for golf — from coastal settings to dramatic desert terrain. As we've seen here today, there are some amazing courses being built — it'll be an easy choice for many people coming from the outside.' Beyond new courses, the event also highlighted Golf Saudi's long-term commitment to growing the sport from the ground up. Dedicated programs and academies are now being developed throughout the Kingdom to nurture young talent and embed golf within the local culture — a critical step for any emerging golf nation. Saudi Arabia's new courses — including the coastal Shura Links on Shura Island, the desert-framed Laheq Golf Course along the Red Sea coast, and the alpine-inspired Trojena Northern Golf Course in NEOM — are being designed not just for playability but for global competition. Each is expected to host future tournaments, including events on the PIF Global Series, which resumes this weekend with the PIF Championship at London's Centurion Club. The fusion of golf and tourism is at the heart of the vision. By integrating world-class design with environmental sensitivity and destination appeal, Saudi Arabia is not only building venues but offering experiences tailored to the modern golfer. 'The goal is to reimagine how golf is experienced, shared, and celebrated — both locally and globally,' said one stakeholder during the event. 'This is not about copying what exists elsewhere. It's about creating something distinctly Saudi, with universal appeal.' PIF Future Fairways will continue to appear at all PIF Global Series tournaments through 2025 and into 2026, serving as a traveling exhibition of Saudi Arabia's golf transformation. For now, Tuesday's London event delivered a clear message: Saudi Arabia is not just joining the global golf stage — it's setting the direction for its future.
