ROSHN Group returns as ‘presenting partner’ of LIV Golf

ROSHN Group, a Public Investment Fund company and the leading mixed-asset real estate developer of integrated, urban communities in Saudi Arabia, served as the official real estate and presenting partner of the LIV Golf League in Jeddah. The event ran from Oct. 13-15.

Following on from LIV Golf’s successful Middle Eastern debut at Jeddah’s Royal Greens Golf and Country Club last year, this year’s tournament also saw professionals from around the globe compete in 12 teams of four in front of a diverse, international audience, entertained by a range of activities for attendees of all ages.

Through its partnership with the LIV Golf League, ROSHN meets multiple objectives — from actively realizing its corporate social responsibility to strengthening its role in advancing Vision 2030. This alliance highlights ROSHN’s efforts in enhancing the sports sector in Saudi Arabia and fostering a vibrant, interconnected community.

David Grover, group chief executive of ROSHN, said: “It’s a matter of great pride for us to be the leading partner of this illustrious global sporting spectacle. Facilitating the convergence of the world’s top-tier golfers in the Middle East, the LIV Golf League in Jeddah plays a pivotal role in broadening the horizons of the sport and catalyzing the expansion of its enthusiastic fanbase.”

“LIV Golf is thrilled to welcome back ROSHN as the presenting partner for the league’s regular season finale in Jeddah,” said Monica Fee, LIV Golf’s senior vice president and global head of partnerships. “Collaborations like this are delivering opportunities for both players and fans to enjoy this great sport and make a meaningful impact beyond the course, showcasing how golf is a force for good in communities around the world.”

At the LIV Golf event, ROSHN unveiled a pivotal CSR initiative championing inclusivity in sport throughout Saudi Arabia. The “Golf for the Disabled (LIV Ability)” initiative is a four-month program set to introduce golf training and education to individuals with disabilities across the Jeddah governorate.

“Embracing the future means forging visionary collaborations in both sports and culture through partnerships that reflect our drive to inspire the nation of Saudi Arabia toward an active lifestyle. The LIV Golf League mirrors our ambition to elevate golf to thrilling new horizons. Hand in hand, we’re setting a distinct trajectory for this revered sport, emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and a relentless spirit of competition,” said Talal Alhenaki, ROSHN’s senior manager, sponsorships and external events.

Kingdom Centre’s comprehensive upgrade nears completion

Chairwoman of the Board of Kingdom Centre Nada Alateegi announced that the final phase of the comprehensive upgrade and redevelopment works at the iconic Riyadh landmark has neared completion.

Kingdom Centre was never intended to be just a shopping destination or a business hub, Alateegi said, but rather a space to deliver exceptional experiences. The experience is now being elevated to a new level of luxury that seamlessly brings together refined hospitality, high-end retail, and world-class business environments. 

She said that Kingdom Centre, inaugurated in 2001, commenced its modernization project in April 2023. The project is being implemented in partnership with a group of top-tier global designers and renowned contractors, and led by the Kingdom Centre management team, to ensure the highest standards of quality and precision.

The upgrades were carried out in accordance with the best safety practices, while maintaining uninterrupted operations and ensuring visitors’ comfort and safety are preserved throughout, Alateegi said. This approach reflects the vision and directives of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and has contributed to the center receiving several awards, including its recognition for “visionary design and development.”

She added that Kingdom Centre had installed the largest fully integrated digital screen on Kingdom Tower facades, operated exclusively in partnership with digital advertising and media solutions leader Rotana Signs. The screen serves as an international showcase reflecting Riyadh’s evolution and its growing global standing.

Kingdom Centre is also home to the Four Seasons Hotel, one of the world’s most prestigious hospitality brands, in addition to VOX Cinemas, purpose-designed to world-class specifications guided by the center’s management vision. 

Moreover, Kingdom Centre introduced Al-Mamlaka Social Dining zone, which has become one of the region’s leading dining experiences and a model for other investors. Conceived by the center’s management to elevate the visitor experience, the Social Dining concept has been officially registered as the intellectual property of Kingdom Centre.

Kingdom Centre has also launched a mobile application and a dedicated visitor loyalty program offering a range of benefits. This initiative is part of the center’s digital transformation strategy and aims to strengthen long-term engagement with visitors.

Kingdom Centre’s management remains committed to setting a leading example for the sector, delivering innovative experiences that support Saudi Arabia’s tourism ambitions and align with Saudi Vision 2030, Alateegi added.
