The UAE is an ideal destination for golf tournaments

Executive Director of the DB World Golf Tour in the Middle East, Tom Phillips, confirmed that the UAE is an ideal destination for organizing and holding the most prominent international golf tournaments, the most important of which is the DB World Tour, which witnesses the participation of elite players from all over the world.

Phillips said, as the UAE is about to host five international tournaments, including three tournaments for the elite category of the Rolex Series, the final qualifiers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and the “Team Cup” tournament, which begins at the Abu Dhabi Golf Resort from January 10 to 12, that “the success of hosting major events “For golf, it comes within the framework of the great and fruitful cooperation between those in charge of the game and the World Tour.”

The coming period will also witness the Emirates Golf Club hosting the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, from January 16 to 19, 2025.

The Executive Director of the DB World Golf Tour pointed out that the Team Cup Championship will be the most prominent event, as it brings together the European continental team and the Great Britain and Ireland team, and is the best opportunity to prepare for the Ryder Cup Championship in New York City, United States of America.

Regarding the public attendance at the DB World Tour and all golf tournaments in the Emirates, he confirmed that they are witnessing a significant growth in the number of attendees of all categories and nationalities, which reflects the great efforts made to develop the game locally.

He pointed to cooperation with the Emirates Golf Federation, which is the cornerstone of the game’s growth and expansion across the country, and stressed that it is a promising strategic partnership that we hope to develop and support further during the coming period.

He explained that the tour contributed to achieving the distinguished addition of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship to the final qualifying table and the conclusion of the season, as it attracted more big stars to the Emirates, and provided the opportunity for fans to follow the most prominent stars such as Roy McIlroy.
