Most of the global golf tour’s respective seasons are coming to a climax.
Order of Merit trophies will be decided while players will be attempting to gain promotion from their tours up the pyramid of the professional golf ladder as well as retaining their playing rights on existing tours.
The Middle East once again takes the stage as the UAE and the EGF, along with the Abu Dhabi authorities, host the second of two World Amateur Team Championships (WATC) - the women’s Espirito Santo Trophy at Abu Dhabi Golf Club over the National Course.
The DP World Tour is in Qatar for the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters at Doha Golf Club and next week travels to Sun City in South Africa for the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The World Tour then returns to the region and Dubai for the season-ending tournament on the Race to Dubai, the $10 million DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, played over the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The Ladies European Tour are also here in the Middle East where they are holding the ARAMCO Team Series – Riyadh, with Dubai’s Chiara Noja defending the title she won last November in such style by beating Charley Hull in a dramatic play-off.
This year the host venue has been moved from the traditional Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Jeddah to Riyadh Golf Club in Riyadh.
