The 24th edition of the Dubai Golf Trophy concluded with the Team Amateurs emerging victorious by 19 ½ - 12 ½ against Team Professionals.
The event, held over two days, had Jack Woods captaining the Professional Team, while David Guinee took charge of the Amateur Team.
The teams were carefully selected, with the top 12 players from the Emirates PGA Order of Merit earning their spots, and each captain having the opportunity to make four additional picks.
The event included ladies' matches played alongside the main competition.
The first day, held at Jumeirah Golf Estates, featured morning foursomes and afternoon four-ball matches. On day two, the venue shifted to the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club for singles match-play.
This setup allowed the Professional Team to attempt a comeback after trailing the Amateur team by four points, 10 – 6, at the end of day one.
The final scores after the tournament favoured the Amateur team, securing a triumphant victory with a final score of 19 ½ - 12 ½ boasting a seven-point victory over their Professional counterparts.
