A record field will vie for honours as Saadiyat Beach Golf Club hosts the first round of the 54-hole Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on Tuesday.
The event is qualifier number six on the 2023 – 24 Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) Men’s Order of Merit.

Daniel Richards, Golf Services Manager, Abu Dhabi Cluster, told Khaleej Times: “We have received a record entry field of 86 players. It is a strong entry from both overseas and from the UAE. “We look forward to a great three days. The golf course is in good condition, the weather is set fair, and we are all ready to begin. Good luck to all the players.”
