A group of young golfers from the ROSHN Rising Stars programme embarked on their first international training experience during the LIV Golf tournament in the United Kingdom. 

 

ROSHN Rising Stars was launched by prime Saudi developer ROSHN Group in collaboration with LIV Golf following the announcement of the Group as a Pillar Partner of LIV Golf earlier this month. 

 

Rising Stars is part of a wider collaboration between its Yuhyeek CSR programme and Potential, Unleashed, LIV Golf’s official community arm, to champion youth access to golf and promote golf and education talent development.

 

The programme is designed to identify and nurture a new generation of Saudi golfers, empowering them to compete at a professional level.

 

The ROSHN Rising Stars programme comprises 20 children aged 8 – 15, many of whom travelled to the UK to join training and mentoring sessions with golfing professionals and LIV Golf stars. 

 

They learned about the game with a tour of the JCB Golf & Country Club, where LIV Golf UK was played this year, and joined the public at the ROSHN Group Fan Zone, said the statement from the company.

 

Over the coming six months, the 20 children in the program will be trained through Saudi-based coaching sessions and mentorship provided by LIV Golf players at international events. 

 

After attending LIV Golf UK, the Rising Stars children will join LIV Golf at the 2025 finals in Michigan, USA, while preparing for their own participation in professional-amateur events in the 2026 season.

 

LIV Golf fans at the UK event, which took place recently, also experienced ROSHN Group’s booth at the Fan Zone, featuring immersive on-site activities such as mini golf and golfing simulators.
