Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship events add to thrilling months of golf action in UAE.
Golf in the UAE is shining brighter than it ever has. In the next four months, the country will host a number of prestigious tournaments including the European Tour’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the Dubai Desert Classic, which has recently been elevated to Rolex Series status.
Of course, this is nothing new and has been the case for many years, so what makes 2021 so special? It comes in the form of the UAE playing host to two elite amateur events in the space of two weeks with the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and the Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific making their debuts in the UAE in November.

It’s a huge coup for the Emirates Golf Federation, who will host alongside Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club and Abu Dhabi Golf Club respectively, as they continue their journey in celebrating Emirati and Arab golf in the region.
“Hosting these two ‘major’ Amateur Championships in the UAE is a great honor,” said Sheikh Fahim Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Emirates Golf Federation. “It will allow our golf clubs the opportunity to reveal the high standard of golf and leisure that we have. More importantly, it will enable the UAE players and the rest of the top Arab players the opportunity to showcase their talents.”
