Here’s the full PIF Saudi International prize money breakdown as two players earn a spot on the LIV Golf League in 2026…
Josele Ballester has his first victory as a professional.
The Spaniard, who joined Sergio Garcia’s LIV Golf team immediately after giving up his amateur status, carded a final-round 65 at Riyadh Golf Club to complete a three-shot victory at the PIF Saudi International.
“This is why I worked so hard every day,” Ballester said. “It’s been really cool, to finally get this done. It’s going to make me keep working even harder to accomplish all the things I have.
“But right now I’m really happy and thankful for all the people that have been there supporting me.
“It’s been great these past few months. It’s been a lot of learning. When I joined LIV, I was not playing great, and it was a learning process. I had to become better. It’s been really cool to see that in this brief time I’ve gotten so much better and that I can compete at the highest level with the best players in the world.”
Also celebrating are Scott Vincent and Yosuke Asaji.
There were also two spots available on LIV Golf next season for the players finishing highest in the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit who aren’t already contracted to the league.
Vincent is no stranger to life on LIV Golf, of course. The Zimbabwean played in the league’s first three seasons, banking more than $9 million in the process.
It is not yet decided if they fill spots in teams vacated by relegations, or play as wildcards.
