This Week in Golf: UAE's Ahmad Skaik among local players in action around the World

The DP World Tour rolls onto week 25 of 44 in the season-long Race to Dubai with the Italian Open presented by Regione Emilia-Romangna.

Patrick Reed (US) is in the field of entries and is joined by Danny Willett (Eng), Adri Arnaus (Spain), Adrian Otaegui (Spain), Ewen Ferguson (Scot), Nicolas Colsaerts (Bel), Rafa Cabrera Bello (Spain) and home players Guido Migliozzi (It) who resides in Dubai – and winner of last week’s KLM Open and Matteo Manassero (Italy).

The Challenge Tour continues its swing in France with Ahmad Skaik (UAE) and Dubai Golden VISA Awardee Joel Stalter as well as Joshua Grenville-Wood (UAE) in the list of entries.

We wish Natalii Gupta (Ind), representing the UAE all the best as she plays in the LET Access event in Sweden as an invite.

The PGA Tour hosts the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Michigan with leading players in the field including Robert MacIntyre (Scot), Tom Kim (Korea) and Stephan Jaeger (Ger).

Another Major takes place in senior golf with the US Senior Open at Newport Rhode Island.

Congratulations to Padraig Harrington (Ire) for winning the Dick’s Open for the third consecutive year on the Champions Tour. He is in the field alongside so many legends of the game – including the top-10 in the 2023 Legends Tour Order of Merit and Lee Westwood (Eng) as a member of a recent Ryder Cup team.
