Stage set for Commercial Bank Qatar Masters 2024
Doha: Organisers of the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters have confirmed that the 27th Edition of the popular DP World Tour golf event will be held at the picturesque Doha Golf Club from Feb 8-11.
The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters is an annual golf tournament on the DP World Tour Calendar where many of the world’s top golfers compete.
The highly anticipated event which will be announced at a press conference scheduled to be held at The Qatar Golf Association premises, at 11:00am, Tuesday the 6th of February is organised by The Qatar Golf Association (QGA), the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC), Doha Golf Club and long-term Title Sponsor, Commercial Bank.
The tournament is considered Qatar’s annual ‘must-attend’ sporting and social event, first held in 1998 and widely known for bringing together the world’s best golf talent; the likes of Rory Mcllroy, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Branden Grace and Henrik Stenson have all competed in previous years.
The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters was attended by over 20,000 spectators in previous years and broadcast to a global TV audience of over 500 million households. For the 27th Edition of the event, all eyes will be on Doha as the biggest names in the sport will compete for the Mother of Pearl Trophy on one of the most challenging courses on The Tour, the Doha Golf Club.
In pursuit of a strategic vision, a decision of paramount importance has been taken: the rescheduling of the Qatar Masters to conclude the season on the DP World Tour. This deliberate and calculated manoeuvre is anticipated to yield an unprecedented level of brand exposure and significantly amplify the tournament’s viewership. This strategic shift aligns the event with a time when sports enthusiasts are most fervently engaged and tuned in.
The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters stands as a prominent fixture in Qatar’s sports calendar, playing a crucial role in the growth of golf in the country since its inception. According to Hassan Nasser al-Naimi, President of QGA, the event not only complements the expansion of golf but also actively encourages young Qataris to embrace the sport and glean insights from DP World Tour Stars.
Al-Naimi expressed that preparations for the upcoming tournament are progressing smoothly, thanks to the collaborative efforts of partners who have significantly contributed to enhancing the overall event experience for both players and spectators each year. Anticipation is high as al-Naimi looks forward to welcoming players, golf enthusiasts, and valued sponsors to Doha Golf Club for another edition of world-class golf scheduled for February 8th, 2024.
Joseph Abraham, Group Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Bank, stated: “As we continue our committed sponsorship of the premier European tour golf event, the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, spanning the past 19 years, we strategically align with Qatar’s Vision to emerge as a global sports hub and a host for significant international sporting events. As participants gather from around the world, I extend my heartfelt wishes for the very best of luck in this tournament, coupled with the hope for a successful event.”
