Canada’s 17-year-old phenom Anna Huang captured a brilliant wire-to-wire victory at the 2026 PIF London Championship held at Centurion Club, securing the $300,000 winner’s check from the marquee $2 million prize purse.
Holding a three-stroke lead heading into Sunday, Huang displayed remarkable composure during the final round, carding a three-under-par 70 to finish at 22-under-par overall and hold off a late charge from local favourite Charley Hull. The victory marks Huang’s fourth Ladies European Tour title, making the Vancouver native the youngest player in history to reach four LET victories.
“The crowds were really big, and it was really fun. I love playing in front of a lot of people, and it really hypes me up.”, said Huang.
Beyond the historic win, the championship highlighted the transformative impact of the Public Investment Fund’s ongoing support for elite female athletics, driving commercial growth through elevated prize funds and world-class global staging.
When asked specifically about the impact of the PIF investment on the women’s game, Anna added:
“It means so much to me because what the PIF has done for women’s golf in general is super spectacular. Raising the prize fund really helps us all out a lot and goes a long way, so we really appreciate it.”
The PIF London Championship delivered far more than elite play this weekend at Centurion Club. Across high-stakes tournament rounds, grassroots outreach, and high-level dialogue on women’s golf as a commercial asset, the event brought the wider women’s sports ecosystem together and showed what it can achieve.
On-site activations by Golf Saudi and the Saudi Tourism Authority turned the venue into a showcase for global travel, connecting UK fans directly to golf destinations in the Kingdom such as Shura Links and Diriyah. Alongside industry conversations on female athlete health and extensive community outreach with the Muslim Golf Association, the championship offered a compelling template for how investment in female athletes delivers lasting economic and cultural returns.
Building on this momentum, the PIF Global Series moves to East Asia as the global spotlight turns toward the next destination on the circuit. The Aramco Korea Championship will take place from October 8–11, 2026, hosted at the breathtaking New Korea Country Club in Goyang-si, near Seoul. Featuring a marquee $2 million prize fund, the tournament will bring world-class international golf to one of the most passionate fanbases on earth, delivering another unforgettable week of elite sport and cultural exchange. Media and fans alike are invited to follow the next chapter of the series live in South Korea this autumn via the PIF Global Series Instagram page here.
