The prizegiving was hosted by one of the world’s leading golf coaches, Peter Cowen and General Abdulla Alhashmi, Vice-Chairman of the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF).
Vasu said: “Today is a special day for so many reasons here at Dubai Hills Golf Club. Every player competing is an EGF Member holding an Official Handicap.
“That is a first for us and it is great to see such a good turnout, not just for the golf, but also those who stayed on for the post event ‘entertainment.’”
Vasu also confirmed that the top three players in the 2023 – 2024 TSCT Order of Merit will receive invites to participate in the pre-tournament Pro-Am event at Saadiyat Golf Club, Abu Dhabi, in 2024, when the DP World Tour’s Challenge Tour comes to the UAE, courtesy of the EGF.
