“To me it’s huge improvement…To be part of something so huge, a moment in history, to me it’s a new Saudi when it comes to a lot of things and to be part of that is really big. For Saudi to put up such money two tournaments in a row is a huge statement to close that gap between men’s and women’s golf…It will motivate a lot of young girls to take up the game. I think in the coming years there will be a lot more Arab female professional golfers.”
