The Aramco Team Series is a professional women's golf competition that is part of the Ladies European Tour (LET), first played in 2020.[1]

The inaugural tournament was played as the Saudi Ladies Team International at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) by the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. It was the penultimate LET event of the 2020 season and followed the Aramco Saudi Ladies International.[2]

2021 saw the competition expanded to become the Aramco Team Series, with four tournaments to be held in the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and Saudi Arabia, each with a US$1 million prize fund.[3]

Format[]

The tournament is a team competition with a total of 36 teams playing, each team consisting of three professionals and one amateur.

A draft is used to form the teams for the tournament. The 36 team captains are seeded based on the official Women's World Golf Rankings. In a random order, the captains select the first additional player to join their team. Each team is then randomly assigned an amateur player and another professional from the remaining field.

Scoring is on a "two-from-four" basis which sees the best two scores on each hole counted for the team competition. With this format, the amateurs may contribute to the result of the game. In addition, the professionals complete every hole and the score is used for the individual competition.[4]
