Come January, Chris Wood will return to defend his Commercial Bank Qatar Masters title in 2014, along with a number of others stars. |
A world-class field of established champions and rising stars has always vied for the Mother of Pearl Trophy at the USD 2.5 million tournament, which will run January 22-25, 2014. The list of past champions includes, Adam Scott, Paul Lawrie, Ernie Els and Henrik Stenson.
Teeing off on a Wednesday for the second year in a row, the prestigious event welcomed almost 25,000 visitors in 2013. The tournament, which is organised by the Qatar Golf Association (QGA), the Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC), Doha Golf Club and Commercial Bank of Qatar, benefits from strong local support as one of the highlights of Qatar’s sporting calendar but also attracts many visitors from the UAE, which will host 2014 European Tour events in Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the weeks before and after the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
For the 2014 edition, world-renowned Scottish band, Texas, will give a headline performance in the bustling public village on Friday evening as part of the event’s evening entertainment, making for a festival atmosphere. Seventies Divas of Soul, Kathy Sledge, the legendary voice of Sister Sledge, and Gwen Dickey, the voice of Rose Royce, will also bring a dose of disco fever to the public village with a live show on Thursday evening.
Elsewhere, the Golf Trick Shot Boys will return to amaze kids and adults alike with their outrageous golf show, and the brand new family fun zone on the lawn beside the clubhouse will allow kids of all ages to try out a number of different sports with mini basketball, mini tennis, mini golf and mini soccer all on offer.
