LIV Golf and Roshn partner on ‘Rising Stars’ program

  • Collaboration aims to increase youth access to golf and promote talent development in the Kingdom

RIYADH: Roshn has joined LIV Golf as a global Pillar Partner for 19 international tour stops during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Part of the partnership involves training initiatives through the “Rising Stars” program. Roshn Group and LIV Golf will look to increase youth access to the sport and promote talent development.

The initiative is a central part of “Potential Unleashed,” LIV Golf's sustainability and community engagement program. And it is in collaboration with “Yuhyeek,” Roshn Group’s community and social responsibility program.

The “Rising Stars” program is a pioneering initiative to nurture and shape the Kingdom’s next generation of golf talent.

It will last six months and include up to 20 players, aged 8 to 15, who will receive mentorship from LIV Golf players and a Saudi Arabia-based training program, starting from July 2025.

Roshn Group and LIV Golf will also select a few Rising Stars Ambassadors who are amateur or emerging golfers in Saudi Arabia. They will attend LIV Golf events to be mentored by professionals, and join PRO-AM activities.

During LIV Golf UK by JCB, at JCB County Club, from July 25 to 27, the Rising Stars team will receive training from LIV professionals.

Mohammed Ashour, associate director of corporate social responsibility at Roshn Group, said: “For the Roshn Rising Stars program, this journey to LIV Golf UK represents a pivotal moment in their development, offering unparalleled access to LIV Golf’s professional golfers and coaches.”

“This immersive training opportunity provides enthusiastic young athletes with direct mentorship and exposure to the highest levels of the sport,” he added.

“Through initiatives like this, Roshn Group is directly investing in the future of Saudi talent, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and global perspective needed to truly excel in the sport of golf and beyond.”

  • Dortmund remained unbeaten in their last eight away games

LEIPZIG, Germany: Fabio Silva grabbed a stoppage time equalizer as Borussia Dortmund drew 2-2 at RB Leipzig to trim Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga lead to eight points on Saturday.
Second placed Dortmund had been heading for defeat after Christoph Baumgartner scored twice from close range in the first half.

Silva then seized ⁠his moment with a left footed shot five minutes into extra time.
Dortmund remained unbeaten in their last eight away games but their six match winning run came to an end at the Red Bull Arena.
Max Beir had looked like putting them ahead ⁠when he broke clear and went one-on-one on goal for Dortmund after eight minutes, but his shot was straight at goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt, and then Leipzig took control.
Baumgartner made the breakthrough in the 20th minute when Yan Diomande, in sparkling form, sent a low cross into the box for him to glance in right-footed with his back to the net.
The goal was given after an offside check.
Baumgartner took his ⁠10th goal ⁠of the season and doubled his tally in the 39th with a perfectly timed run to tap in a cross from David Raum as the hosts ripped Dortmund apart down the left.
Leipzig, with just one win from their last six outings, stayed fifth in the standings, one point behind VfB Stuttgart who have a game in hand.
Harry Kane struck his eighth brace of the season as Bayern beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in an earlier kickoff. Dortmund host Bayern next week.
