Riyadh, Feb 12 (NationPress) Pranavi Urs and Aditi Ashok are set to compete alongside Diksha Dagar and Tvesa Malik at the prestigious 6 million USD Saudi Ladies International. These four talented players will be part of a 112-player lineup in an event featuring both individual and team competitions.

The tournament will comprise a 54-hole individual stroke play event, as well as a 36-hole team competition. The field is expected to include eight tournament invitations, 62 LET players, and 42 competitors ranked among the top 300 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

There is a substantial prize fund available this week, with 500,000 USD allocated for the team competition and a total of 4.5 million USD for the individual competition.

In the previous season, Pranavi emerged as the leading Indian player, finishing 17th on the LET Merit List, while Diksha secured 29th and Tvesa 60th. Aditi participated in only four LET events as she focused on the LPGA, where she successfully retained her card.

Following a strong start in her home tour, the Women’s Pro Tour, Pranavi nearly clinched victory on two occasions, achieving third place in both the Dormy Open and Open de España.

Diksha had an impressive start to 2025 last week, reaching a playoff but narrowly missing her third LET victory against Cara Gainer in the season-opener 2025 Lalla Meryem Cup. Last season, she represented India for the second time at the Olympics in Paris, securing four Top-10 finishes.

In addition, Tvesa regained her LET card in 2024 and came close to her first win, only to lose in a playoff to Alice Hewson at the VP Swiss Bank Ladies Open.
