SALT LAKE CITY – Tony Finau will return to Saudi Arabia for the second consecutive year and contend for the Saudi International following a T2 finish in his debut a year ago.

In 2020, Finau finished in a tie for second and just two shots behind winner Dustin Johnson. It was the first time that Finau had played a competitive event in Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi International is on the European Tour and will likely be the only European Tour event that Finau contends in this season, outside of the WGC events that are also considered European Tour events.
