Omega title-sponsors the tournament for the eighth time as part of its strong commitment to supporting golf in the region
Many of the world's best golfers, including Omega brand ambassador Sergio Garcia, are set to tee off at this year's Omega Dubai Desert Classic at the Emirates Golf Club. Dubbed the 'Major of the Middle East', the tournament begins on the renowned Majlis Course on Thursday February 2nd and continues until Sunday February 5th.
For more than 25 years, this tournament has been a celebration of golfing excellence and omega is proud to have served as title sponsor since 2010.
Omega President and CEO, Mr Raynald Aeschlimann said:
"The Omega Dubai Desert Classic is like no other event on the golfing calendar. It's easy to see why top ranking golfers from all over the world are drawn to this beautiful course and this vibrant city. We know this event will go from strength to strength".
Though Rory McIlroy, who won the competition in 2009 and 2015, announced regretfully that he will not be able to attend the event due to injury, Omega is confident that fellow ambassador Sergio Garcia, one of the most popular golfers in the world, will be a force to reckon with on the Majlis course.
Omega 's title sponsorship of leading golf tournaments has been a part of the luxury brand's dedication to upholding the elegance and mastery of the game of golf, while also helping to encourage its global growth and appeal.
