Gulf Times to be official paper of Commercial Bank Qatar Masters

For the sixth consecutive year, Gulf Times will play a central role in the promotion of the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters tournament. The organisers yesterday confirmed Qatar’s leading newspaper as an official supplier to Qatar’s leading golf event once again. Organised by the Qatar Golf Association (QGA) and the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) in collaboration with title sponsor Commercial Bank of Qatar, the event will see some of the world’s leading golfers compete for the Mother of Pearl Trophy and a $2.5mn prize. Part of the European Tour’s Middle East swing and held from January 23 to 26, spectators and golf fans can expect to be kept fully updated by Gulf Times as the action unfolds. As official newspaper of the 2013 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, Gulf Times will provide full coverage of the event in the newspaper and online during the event build up, keeping golf and sports fans in Qatar fully informed of player and event news. “Since we started our partnership with the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters back in 2007, we have seen the tournament grow into one of the Middle East’s leading sports events,” said Gulf Times’ general manager, Mohamed Allam Ali. “The event now enjoys fantastic exposure on a global level but it is particularly close to our hearts here in Qatar. We therefore look forward to delivering all of the tournament news to our growing population of sports fans here for the sixth consecutive year.” Hassan al-Nuaimi, QGA president commented: “It is very important for us to have the support of Qatari companies as we continue to grow the tournament into one of the region’s premier events. The support of Gulf Times as Qatar’s leading English language newspaper is invaluable to us as sport continues to be a leading interest of local Qataris and expats alike.” The event can be followed on www.gulf-times.com, www.qatar-masters.com, www.qatar-masters.com/hospitality.php, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CommercialBankQatarMasters, and Twitter: @CBQatarMasters
