The Championship’s ongoing success is laying the foundations for Abu Dhabi’s emergence as an international golfing destination. Playing to a cumulative global television audience of 400 million, the championship is inextricably linked with the building of Abu Dhabi’s tourism profile as an international destination of distinction, and is integral in putting the emirate firmly on the international sporting map.
The Championship consistently attracts a world-class field of the game’s top international stars, including winners Chris DiMarco, Paul Casey, Martin Kaymer and Robert Rock. Even Tour legend Gary Player has joined the Abu Dhabi field. In 2012 the Championship field included the world’s top four players, six of the world’s top ten, three current holders of Major titles and 14-time Major winner, Tiger Woods, making his Abu Dhabi debut. The tremendous depth of field saw the Championship named by the Official Golf Rankings as the strongest ever field at a Middle East tournament.
