In an effort to promote the sporting segment with Ras Al Khaimah, the tourism authority has recently sponsored the inaugural Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge which will see the European Challenge Tour return to UAE in 2016.
The event will be hosted at Al Hamra Golf Club from 26 – 29 October 2016. The tournament, with a prize fund of US$350,000, will be sanctioned locally by the Emirates Golf Federation. It will take up a key position in the 2016 schedule as the Challenge Tour’s penultimate event, the week before the season-ending climax, the NBO Golf Classic Grand Final.
Haitham Mattar, CEO of Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority said: “Hosting the European Challenge Tour is part of our commitment to golf tourism in the emirate and highlights importance we are placing on the sport in 2016 and beyond. The world-class golf course at Al Hamra Golf Club is the ideal location for such an event, and we look forward to welcoming golf enthusiasts.”
A field of a minimum of 85 Challenge Tour players plus a further 20 sponsors’ invitations of professionals and amateurs via the participating Federations can include Arab Nationals and expatriates with an appropriate handicap.
