Leona Maguire has signed up to play in a golf tournament presented by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund next month.
The Cavan golfer will participate in the Aramco Team Series, which takes place at the Centurion Club in London from July 14 to 16.
Maguire, who is ranked 20th in the world, played in Saudi Arabia earlier this year when competing at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International and also competed at a tournament sponsored Saudi's PIF, which bankrolls LIV Golf, in 2022.

Next month's event sees 36 teams of four – three professionals and one amateur – battle it out, with prize money of $1 million up for grabs.
Maguire said: “I had a great time competing in the Aramco Team Series – New York last year, and I’m looking forward to being part of the Aramco Team Series on European soil and competing alongside an exceptional field that’s lining up. Hopefully, we can put on a great show for the fans in the UK.”
The 28-year-old's participation at the tournament was announced with world number two Nelly Korda's, with the organisers describing the pair as "two of the best in the business."
American Korda commented: “The Aramco Team Series is a special event that showcases a unique blend of individual talent and team dynamics in golf, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to once again compete alongside top professionals and amateurs.
“I’ve had great performances in the past three Aramco Team Series events I’ve played in, so I hope to deliver a top performance for the fans in London and capture my second Aramco Team Series title.”
