Amateur and professional golfers from around the world will descend on Pattana Golf and Sports Resort in May 2017 as it hosts the sixth edition of the MENA Golf Tour.
An initiative from the Shaikh Maktoum Golf Foundation, the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) Golf Tour is aimed at the best MENA national amateur and professional players, along with eligible players from around the world, giving them an opportunity to develop their golfing skills and forge strong networks with a pool of international players.
Launched in 2011, the tour is now a so-called Official Tour with World Ranking status and it currently hosts 22 tournaments across nine countries in the Middle East, Europe, South Africa and Asia. The tour's return to Thailand in 2017 is a testament to the rising popularity of the tour in Asia and Thailand's excellent golfing environment.
As the popularity of the tour increases, so does the number of participating high profile international players. The tour already boasts names such as Matt Fitzpatrick, Darren Clarke, Zane Scotland, Joshua White, Ross McGowan, Malcolm McKenzie and Miles Tunnicliff, all of whom have played on the European Tour.
A number of social and supporting events will take place during the five day event, including an event expo, a pre-tournament dinner with VIPs and an awards ceremony followed by an after party. A 30-minute television highlight show will be broadcast on some of the world's leading channels, including Fox Sports, OSN Sports, Dubai Sports, Ten Golf and Super Sports.
