Staff WriterThe PIF London Championship is dusting off the bunting and heading back to Centurion Club this August, bringing with it all the trimmings of high-stakes drama, global talent, and a cool $2 million purse.
Slated for 8–10 August, this year’s edition marks the fifth consecutive return of the tournament to the Hertfordshire heathland, and if past years are anything to go by, you’d be daft to miss it.
As the third stop on the 2025 PIF Global Series, the PIF London Championship is fast becoming the marquee midsummer moment on the Ladies European Tour calendar.
You can thank Centurion’s gnarly finishing hole and the organisers’ flair for the theatrical for that. Last year alone saw fireworks on the fairways, with team golf going to a playoff and Leona Maguire finishing with an eagle for the ages.
Let’s rewind a tick. In 2024, Team Nadaud and Team Hall locked horns across 36 holes, only to find themselves neck-and-neck at the close. Cue a captain’s playoff—three holes of sudden-death spectacle, with Nastasia Nadaud eventually sealing the deal with a steely birdie on Centurion’s now-iconic 18th.
She wasn’t alone in the glory. Kristyna Napoleaova, Mireia Prat, and amateur Brooksbank joined in the celebrations, champagne likely flowing faster than a downhill putt at Augusta.
The individual contest delivered its own haymaker finish. Maguire, always calm under pressure and clearly not one to follow scripts, channelled her inner Bronte Law from 2022 and slammed home an eagle to edge out Maria Hernandez by one. That 18th hole’s becoming less of a closing stretch and more of a theatre stage.
Tickets? They’re already on sale, and in a move that shows someone behind the scenes has a heart (and possibly a junior membership card), kids under 16 go free with a paying adult.
Early bird tickets start at just £5 until 7 July. And here’s the kicker—100% of ticket revenue goes straight back into grassroots golf across England. That’s right: every quid goes toward growing the game, not greasing a CEO’s bonus.
But the PIF London Championship isn’t just about the golf—though, let’s be honest, the golf is rather brilliant.
There’ll be food and drink to satisfy every appetite, interactive fan zones for all ages, and enough off-course action to entertain the golf-curious and hardcore fans alike.
It’s all part of the broader PIF Global Series, a campaign spearheaded by Golf Saudi as part of Saudi Arabia’s wider Vision 2030 project. Yes, there’s strategy in play here.
This isn’t just a tournament—it’s a signal of intent. With the PIF’s deep pockets and Golf Saudi’s logistical chops, women’s golf is finally getting the kind of boost long reserved for the men’s game.
“Through the PIF Global Series, we’re seeing a major shift in opportunities for women golfers,” said a spokesperson from Golf Saudi. And fair play—they’re not just talking the talk.
By investing in global tournaments and player pathways, the Kingdom is helping to rewrite what’s possible in the women’s game.
So, what can fans expect this year? More fireworks, more talent, and probably more heart-stopping finishes on Centurion’s 18th.
But beyond the leaderboard drama, the PIF London Championship is becoming something more: a statement of belief in the future of women’s golf, staged on English soil.
Tickets are available now via www.pif-london.tixr.com, and you’d be wise to get in early.
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s this: when the PIF London Championship rolls into town, the only guarantee is greatness—and maybe the odd goosebump.
