2023 Saudi International full field explored

The Asian Tour’s Saudi International returns for its fifth outing in February. The event, held at Jeddah's Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, is set to tee off on February 2 and continue till the 5th.

Much like its previous four outings, the fifth edition of the Saudi International features a loaded field. Interestingly, it has the biggest names from the LIV Golf set to tee up. The event, sponsored by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, will see players like reigning champion Harold Varner III, 2019 and 2021 winner Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson on the field.

Almost half of the 126-man field at the event will consist of LIV Golf pros. It is pertinent to note that this will be one of the few non-LIV events on these golfers’ schedules.

2023 Saudi International field

The 2023 Saudi International field is special. Unlike other events, the Asian Tour tournament is stacked with LIV golfers. This includes world No. 3 Cameron Smith, who is the highest-ranked player on the field. Smith’s compatriot, Marc Leishman, 2020 US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, four-time Major winner Brooks Koepka, and two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson will be among others on the field.

While the event’s field will lack players from the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour, it’ll be no short of top-rated players. Moreover, players like former World No. 1 Lee Westwood and Ryder Cup legend Ian Poulter, who is currently teeing up at the DP World Tour event in Abu Dhabi, will also fly down to Jeddah's Royal Greens Golf & Country Club for the Asian Tour event.

PGA Tour’s Cameron Young, Lucas Herbert, and Cameron Champ will be the exceptions on the field. The players will compete for the event's $5 million prize purse. While the paycheck is impressive, LIV golfers would be more interested in the 26 Official World Golf Ranking points the winner gets.
