Female Golf Players Return to Saudi Arabia to Fight Gender Inequality

Female golf players have returned to Saudi Arabia in order to compete for the Saudi Ladies International.

Last year this same event made history as being the first professional women’s sport held in Saudi Arabia. 

The highly sought-after women’s competition is being held in Saudi Arabia once again to fight the inequality of the sexes in golf. As women golfers are largely unrecognized by the media and the public.

Ladies European Tour CEO Alex Armas said, “There is a challenge in women’s sport. We don’t get the coverage of the men, but there is a shift in that, and the equality movement and the corporate companies are realizing there is an imbalance. We need to showcase them and their stories and incredible journeys. We still have a long way to go. People don’t realize what good athletes these women are, and if they don’t get to see that, they don’t understand that. They can compete. They are as good athletes as the men.”

The location for the competition is meant to not only break barriers for Saudi Arabian women and to encourage them to play sports. It is also meant to catch more publicity and give these female golf players the recognition that they deserve.
