Joaquin Niemann carded six birdies and two bogeys in the final round of the PIF Saudi International to maintain his lead from the previous round. However, he could not prevent Cameron Smith and Caleb Surratt from joining him at the top of the leaderboard.

Smith carded a bogey-free round of nine birdies in the fourth round of the PIF Saudi International. Surratt, meanwhile, carded six birdies and one bogey. The tie was decided in a 2-hole playoff, which Niemann won by birdieing the second hole.

The victory at Riyadh Golf Club also clinched the 2024 International Series title for Niemann, despite only playing two events. Fellow LIV golfer Peter Uihlein finished second, while the top Asian Tour player was Ben Cambell in third.
